| An active period for project partners | The summer has been a dynamic one for the CPES project partners through numerous events. Since the Ploërmel seminar, several major dates have marked the common work schedule and each site. These meetings are essential for the convergence of theoretical concepts of payments for environmental services with the local interests of stakeholders. Find the key news from June to October in the second part of this letter. | | |
| |  | | | Several deliverables in preparation | | | 2018 is the year of diagnosis for the 6 case studies. In June, the Ploërmel seminar gave an update on the common orientations of the deliverables for the end of the year. By the end of November, each site has to deliver:
* Its report on its geographical and socio-economic context
* Its report on the state of the environmental
* Its work schedule
* Its risk assessment.
Thanks to this, each site can take stock of its initial situation and define the precise objectives for future PES contracts. | | Read more  | |
| |  | | | Toolbox in progress | | | During the next project workshop scheduled for early December, one of the key points of the workshops will be the preparation of the PES Toolbox.
A preliminary version of this set of resources will be discussed between the partners in order to publish it eventually on the project's website, on the dedicated page. This tool will be in development until 2020 and will be one of the central results of the project to enable the duplication of PES in other watersheds subject to water quality problems. | | | Read more | |
