This call focuses on upscaling payment schemes for environmental services, specifically those based on result-based, collective, or spatially coordinated approaches to support farmers in delivering agri-environment-climate public goods. These payment schemes aim to address challenges in designing cost-effective, flexible solutions that promote long-term sustainable farming practices, encourage environmental services like climate change mitigation, soil functionality, and biodiversity, and mobilize private sector involvement in the green transition. The proposals should focus on practical, real-world applications of these payment schemes, supporting farmers with long-term financing and offering tools for governance, monitoring, and implementation. Proposals should also emphasize collaboration, with a multi-actor approach involving various stakeholders, including policymakers, farmers, and SMEs. Key objectives include the development of effective governance models, sustainable financing mechanisms, and knowledge sharing between diverse stakeholders.
