PES as a potential mechanism for conflict resolution in ecosystem management

Export citation

This chapter examines various ways in which PES can contribute to conflict resolution among diverging actor interests in ecosystem services. Our aim is to explore approaches and processes in which PES can achieve conflict resolution, supported by case examples from the developing world. We further explore the enablers and hurdles in the potential for PES to resolve conflicts among resource users. We offer concluding remarks at the end.
