In my view, member states should put emphasis on areas such as mediation and let the UN
step back from traditional development and humanitarian assistance, as plenty of other
actors are now involved in this work — state agencies, NGOs,
local communities, foundations and companies.
The Katoomba Network is designed to create an enabling environment for
local actors to take critical
steps towards the development and improvement of payments for ecosystem services - «PES» initiatives and policies, critical for restoring and improving ecosystems.
