2010 Global Sustainability Summer School-PES

In April 2010 the journal of Ecological Economics (No.69,2010) ran a special edition on ecosystem services. Below follows some of a subset of the critical articles.

Kosoy, Nicolás and Esteve Corbera. Payments for ecosystem services as commodity fetishism. Ecological Economics 69(2010): 1228-1236.

For what it is worth, I have also published on the subjects of "missing feedbacks" in payment for ecosystem services schemes and applications (and their limits) in the forest products sector.
