A couple of candid notes before you use the resource library
- The library is crowd sourced from across our members and compiled by volunteers in our research workstream. It does not intend to be a complete or authoritative resource on the subject matter. It will be developed over time and you are very welcome to submit new literature for inclusion, or to flag any inaccuracies, by emailing us at hello@cashforconservation.org.
- When referring to an intervention as Cash for Conservation we mean a programme or project led by one of our members, but these interventions may vary significantly in terms of design, eligibility or level of conditionality employed. There is no strict definition of what constitutes a Cash for Conservation intervention.
- We accept that rigorous evidence on Cash for Conservation interventions is still relatively limited, and have therefore tried to provide a broad overview of cash-based assistance literature insofar as it pertains to environmental and climate outcomes. We include some relevant studies on conditional and social protection programmes, given these have often been conducted at scale and rigorously analysed, and can provide useful insights on the context under which cash may or may not work for conservation.
