Environmental Security for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA)

Map outlining globally significant flash-point areas
ESPA key

EnviroSecurity Assessments developed by the IES and partners, are meant to provide decision makers in government, the private sector and NGOs with an array of practical decision tools, strategic maps and initial policy recommendations for globally significant flash-point areas.

Initial assessments should lead to the development, finance and implementation of multi-year EnviroSecurity Action Plans that seek to enhance global environmental, economic and human security.

In each case we aim to identify the interdependency between conservation of eco-system services and poverty alleviation.
