CONSIDERACIONES OPERATIVAS SOBRE LOS PRINCIPIOS DE INTEGRIDAD DE LOS MECANISMOS DE DISTRIBUCIÓN DE BENEFICIOS EN LAS SOLUCIONES BASADAS EN LA NATURALEZA

The document outlines a four-pillar framework for the 'good governance' of benefit-sharing mechanisms (BSM) in nature-based solutions (NbS). It focuses on ensuring that monetary and non-monetary incentives generated by environmental outcomes are distributed equitably. The guide provides specific operational questions and challenges regarding stakeholder engagement, transparency, social justice, and the effectiveness of resource flows, with a strong emphasis on preventing 'elite capture' and protecting vulnerable groups.

• Benefit-sharing mechanisms (BSM) are defined as the intentional transfer of monetary and non-monetary incentives to stakeholders to generate environmental results, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, funded by revenues from those results.
• The framework for BSM integrity is organized into four pillars of good governance: full and effective participation, transparency and accountability, justice, and effectiveness.
• A critical risk in BSM is 'elite capture,' where powerful individuals use their economic, political, or identity-based influence to divert benefits to themselves, such as large landowners excluding smallholders from benefit criteria.
• To ensure accountability, the guide emphasizes the necessity of an accessible and effective Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) that provides clear procedures for filing, investigating, and resolving complaints.
• Justice in BSM requires addressing historical and ongoing inequalities in land tenure and carbon rights, suggesting that some benefits could be used to help formalize tenure rights for those without official recognition.
• For a BSM to be effective and 'net positive,' the benefits provided to stakeholders must exceed the costs of their time, effort, and the opportunity costs of allocating land or resources to the NbS.
