About
This site contains the archive of the Flows bulletin, which was produced between 2001 and 2008. For now it is dormant, in part because the project through which it was funded came to an end. In part because my main focus of my work is now on land use carbon. Some day, when I have more to say about the multiple benefits of land-use carbon projects, I may revisit it. Below is the original description of the bulletin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The FLOWS bulletin provides an occasional review of selected topics that pertain to assessment of the effectiveness of payment arrangements for watershed services and lessons being learned, highlighting:
- Gaps between theory and practice,
- The science and policy interface,
- Relevant information from diverse areas of knowledge,
- Multiple perspectives, and
- Rules-of-Thumb, as revealed by current practices.
Each issue features:
- A review of selected special topics that pertain to assessment of the effectiveness of payment initiatives,
- A guide to resources pertinent to featured topics,
- A space for reader commentary and responses to previous issues, and
- Announcements of pertinent new reports and papers, and upcoming events.
Flows is produced by Sylvia S. Tognetti, an independent consultant, with initial support and collaboration from the International Institute for Environment and Development, and the The World Bank, through the Bank-Netherlands Watershed Partnership Program (BNWPP).
The Flows Bulletin is a forum for multiple perspectives, and does not necessarily represent the views of the sponsoring organizations.
It is available in English and in Spanish.
