The objective of the workshop was to address the science and economics of environmental services in climate-prone zones, and particularly issues of carbon and climate variability; governance and performance monitoring; research and capacity-building. Over 80 participants from Africa, Europe and the United States participated. The workshop also gave the opportunity for participants to discuss collaboration under the CCIAM initiative.
