    BENEFIT-SHARING MECHANISMS

    Water is essential for all human life and the ecosystems that support us. Water is a fundamental human right - socially, economically and culturally important.

    For communities living in the Andean and Amazonian regions, this is especially true. Today these communities are facing three major water challenges as they fight to reduce poverty and protect their environment:

    - Widespread land degradation, water pollution and climate change are reducing the availability, quality and reliability of water resources.

    The REDD-ALERT (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation from Alternative Land Uses in the Rainforests of the Tropics) project started in 2009 and finished in 2012, and had the aim of evaluating mechanisms that translate international-level agreements into instruments that would help change the behaviour of land users while minimising adverse repercussions on their livelihoods. Findings showed that some developing tropical countries have recently been through a forest transition, thus shifting from declining to expanding forests at a national scale.

    Austral summer frosts in the Andean highlands are ubiquitous throughout the crop cycle, causing yield losses. In spite of the existing warming trend, climate change models forecast high variability, including freezing temperatures. As the potato center of origin, the region has a rich biodiversity which includes a set of frost resistant genotypes. Four contrasting potato genotypes –representing genetic variability- were considered in the present study: two species of frost resistant native potatoes (the bitter Solanum juzepczukii, var. Luki, and the non-bitter Solanum ajanhuiri, var.

    Water Use in the Can?ete River Basin

    People who live in a healthy watershed benefit from its steady supply of water in many different ways, using it for households, agriculture, and industry. In many cases, however, the benefits derived from water are inequitably distributed among water users. Mechanisms that redistribute

    the benefits are known as benefit- sharing mechanisms and are most likely to be successful in places where water supply from ecosystems upstream is combined with a high demand for water downstream.
