Intervention dans le cadre du Forum 2010 LASCAUX - SPIDH. 19 pages. ; International audience ; No podemos dejar de preocuparnos por las indicaciones que la ciencia, la técnica y las estadísticas nos muestran sobre los efectos del cambio climático para los suelos, la biodiversidad y sus resultados negativos para la producción de alimentos. Se hace necesario, hoy más que nunca, que los esfuerzos a nivel regional se coordinen y se establezcan a nivel interno de los países centroamericanos, políticas públicas y legislación modernizada que regulen la relación ambiente y producción de alimentos. La seguridad alimentaria es hoy una prioridad en los discursos y la política de los países de la región pensando sobre todo en los retos que plantea la globalización. Debemos redoblar los esfuerzos para que el desarrollo sostenible sea una realidad y no un discurso olvidado que nos irá dejando cada vez más gente hambrienta. ; Nous devons impérativement prêter attention aux enseignements de la science, de la technique et des études statistiques, qui mettent en évidence les effets du changement climatique sur les sols, la biodiversité ainsi que sur la production d'aliments. Il devient nécessaire, aujourd'hui plus que jamais, que les efforts effectués au plan régional soient coordonnés et que des politiques publiques soient établies au niveau national, par les pays d'Amérique centrale, qui prendraient la forme de législations encadrant la relation entre la production alimentaire et l'environnement. La sécurité alimentaire reste une priorité dans les déclarations politiques, en particulier dans les pays de cette région du monde qui sont aux prises avec les défis de la mondialisation. Il faut redoubler d'effort pour que le développement durable devienne une réalité et ne relève plus seulement du discours, afin de ne plus accepter de laisser toujours plus de gens souffrir de la faim.

The payment of environmental services (PES) in Costa Rica has become a really important and novel issue which must be conceived as an economic instrument and a financial order system that tries to repay the land owners under the forest regime for the environmental benefits they provide to the country, in an effort to conserve and sustain the usage of primary and tropical forests. Amongst the benefits of such efforts are the reduction of the gases that cause global warming (through carbon fixation and its storage, avoiding the excess accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere) and the protection of biodiversity. At the local and national level the protection of water for human consumption and hydroelectric generation, as well as for landscape and scenic preservation are also very important. However, we have found some problems with the command and control options of Costa Rica's economical instruments (no political consensus, weak administrative agencies, no financial sustainability and no control of the process). ; The payment of environmental services (PES) in Costa Rica has become a really important and novel issue which must be conceived as an economic instrument and a financial order system that tries to repay the land owners under the forest regime for the environmental benefits they provide to the country, in an effort to conserve and sustain the usage of primary and tropical forests.
