Some Key Elements for Successful PES arepresent: EO 26 provides framework for a national

environmental program and mandatesgovernment agencies to synergize efforts in

implementing NGP (planning, budgets, systems,etc.)

Secure property rights (CBFM, CADT, etc) ofservice providers of environmental services (ES)

Potential buyers of ES e.g. water districts,

mining companies, LGUs, etc.) Start-up funding from government that could

be leveraged with the private sector

Clean Development MechanismAfforestation and Reforestation - Flexible mechanism under the

Kyoto Protocol that allows offsettingof carbon emissions from Annex- 1countries through afforestation and

reforestation in Non-Annex 1countries.


21/23

Voluntary Forest Carbon Projects - Voluntary carbon offset projects wherein

an entitys carbon emissions can be offsetby forest carbon sequestration projects.

- An example is the Quirino Forest CarbonProject, the first forest carbon project inAsia that passed the Voluntary Carbon

Standard (VCS) and a Gold Rating from theClimate Community Biodiversity Standard(CCBS)

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)funds hinged on the principle of payingback to the society by engaging in

philanthropic /environmental (Green)projects but recoup investments in theform of image building forconsumers/stockholders.

- can enhance claim of being Green byallocating funds for green projectproportional to their carbon footprint.
