• Initiate a new project financing mechanism based on verified performance; 
• Measure and optimise the impact of PES (and of different combinations of ‘production’ and ‘preservation’ PES, with the main focus on production PES) in terms of socio-economic and environmental outcomes; 
• Inform the further scaling up of PES and the development of an ambitious portfolio of sustainable land management projects fully integrating the new approach and PES tools.
