Resumo: The recognition of ecosystem services for the welfare of society has been widely disseminated within the scientific community, as well as the interest of the population regarding its relevance has increased significantly. This paper presents as an object of investigation the Payment for Environmental Services (PES), which is regarded as an instrument of environmental management capable of generating economic value from the protection and maintenance of ecosystems through economic incentives to environmental services “providers”. Considering that PES materializes through contracts, this paper has analysed its theoretical assumptions as well as the institutional elements that form a PES market and its use as a tool for environmental public policy. Thus, two projects under the Water Producer Program of the National Water Agency (ANA) were investigated, through the following dimensions of analysis: the institutional arrangements; a remuneration methodology; opportunity cost; monitoring; and efficiency of the projects. The results demonstrate that although PES is viewed as a genuine market tool, in practice the schemes are agent-driven, which implicates in a redesign of its conceptual framework of issues that may be linked to private property to a broader perspective that comes from the environmental service. It has also been identified that cost-effectiveness measurements associated with the program in comparison to other environmental policies are poorly explored in the field of ecosystem service studies, which may cause doubts on the power of such an instrument in behaviour induction and environmental conservation.

Este documento presenta como objeto de investigación el Programa Pago por Servicios Ambientales (PSA), que se considera un instrumento de gestión ambiental capaz de generar valor económico a partir de la protección y mantenimiento de los ecosistemas a través de incentivos económicos a los “proveedores” de servicios ambientales. Teniendo en cuenta que el PSA se materializa a través de contratos, se ha analizado sus supuestos teóricos, así como los elementos institucionales que forman un mercado de PSA y su uso como herramienta para la política pública ambiental. Con este fin, se investigaron dos proyectos en el Programa de Productores de Agua de la Agencia Nacional del Agua (ANA), por intermedio de las siguientes dimensiones de análisis: los arreglos institucionales; la metodología de remuneración; costo de oportunidad; el monitoreo; y la eficiencia de los proyectos. Los resultados mostraron que, aunque el PSA se presenta como una verdadera herramienta de mercado, en la práctica los esquemas están compuestos por múltiples agentes, implicando en una reformulación de su marco conceptual de cuestiones de propiedad privada a una perspectiva más amplia basada en el trabajo: el servicio ambiental. También se identificó que las mediciones de costo-efectividad asociadas con el programa en comparación con otras políticas ambientales son poco exploradas en el campo de los estudios de servicios ecosistémicos, lo que puede generar dudas sobre el poder de este instrumento en la inducción de comportamiento y la preservación del medio ambiente.O reconhecimento dos serviços ecossistêmicos para o bem-estar da sociedade vem sendo amplamente divulgado no meio científico, assim como é perceptível que o interesse da população quanto a sua relevância tem aumentado expressivamente. Este trabalho apresenta como objeto de investigação o Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais (PSA), sendo este considerado um instrumento de gestão ambiental capaz de gerar valor econômico a partir da proteção e manutenção de ecossistemas por meio de incentivos econômicos a “provedores” de serviços ambientais. Considerando-se que o PSA se materializa por intermédio de contratos, este trabalho analisou seus pressupostos teóricos, bem como os elementos institucionais que formam um mercado de PSA e sua utilização como ferramenta de política pública ambiental. Para tanto, foram investigados dois projetos no âmbito do Programa Produtor de Água da Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA), por meio das seguintes dimensões de análise: os arranjos institucionais; a metodologia de remuneração; custo de oportunidade; o monitoramento; e a eficiência dos projetos. Os resultados demonstraram que, embora o PSA seja apresentado como uma ferramenta genuína de mercado, na prática os esquemas são formados por múltiplos agentes, o que implica uma reformulação de seu marco conceitual de questões ligadas à propriedade privada para uma perspectiva mais abrangente que parta do trabalho: o serviço ambiental. Também foi identificado que as mensurações da efetividade dos custos associados ao programa em comparação com outras políticas ambientais são pouco exploradas no campo de estudos dos serviços ecossistêmicos, podendo levantar dúvidas da potência do instrumento na indução de comportamentos e preservação ambiental.Universidade Católica Dom Bosco2021-11-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://interacoes.ucdb.br/interacoes/article/view/278910.20435/inter.v22i3.2789Interações (Campo Grande); Interações v. 22, n. 3, jul./set. 2021; 907-924Interações (Campo Grande); Interações v. 22, n. 3, jul./set. 2021; 907-924Interações (Campo Grande); Interações v. 22, n. 3, jul./set. 2021; 907-9241984-042X1518-7012reponame:Interações (Campo Grande.
