Abstract

The provision of ecosystem services (ES) by nature, including in urban areas, contributes to human well-being. The enactment of the National Policy on Payment for Environmental Services (PSA) highlights the need for developing strategies to implement environmental preservation policies through incentives. In pursuing sustainable urban development, which aims at building more resilient, sustainable, and less unequal cities, it is crucial that PSA policies not reinforce socio-environmental inequalities by directing resources to people and regions well-served by ES while neglecting areas of extreme need. Using Belo Horizonte as a case study, this research maps the supply of ES in the municipality based on secondary data and environmental proxies. The study also estimates the demand for actions that generate and enhance these benefits based on georeferenced socioeconomic data. The supply and demand are then compared to create a prioritization model using spatial and exploratory analysis methods.
