“…This way, local (typically poor) communities were blamed for disinvesting in nature and degrading its (external) instrumental values. Especially in the Global South, not least in Latin America, the implementation of PES programmes that prioritized instrumental market-based values helped enforce a view in which the diversity of values held by local communities (as both economic and civil society actors) was largely ignored [65,89,90].…”

“…There is growing acknowledgement of the need to further adapt PES framings to become compatible with the worldviews, knowledge and values of nature held by local communities [64,65]. This also involves focusing on distributional, procedural and recognition-based equity issues [89,98,99], which in turn implies the need to expand the criteria for evaluating the success of PES programmes.…”

Values play a significant role in decision-making, especially regarding nature. Decisions impact people and nature in complex ways and understanding which values are prioritised, and which are left out is an important task for improving the equity and effectiveness of decision-making. Based on work done for the IPBES Values Assessment, this paper develops a framework to support analyses of how decision-making influences nature as well as whose values get prioritised. The framework is used to analyse key areas of environmental policy: a) the present model for nature protection in market economies, b) the role of valuation in bringing nature values into decisions, and c) values embedded in environmental policy instruments, exemplified by protected areas for nature conservation and payments for ecosystem services. The analyses show that environmental policies have been established as mere additions to decision-making structures that foster economic expansion, which undermines a wide range of nature's values. Moreover, environmental policies themselves are also focused on a limited set of nature's diverse values. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Bringing nature into decision-making’.

“…These programs have provided potential pathways toward transformative change. However, the potential for PES programs to integrate nature's values into decision-making, and thereby support broader transformative change, is of increasing research interest (Bremer et al, 2023). Therefore, we will analyse how values can support transformative change.…”
