An initiative called REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) would pay for ecosystem services on a global scale by rewarding forest conservation, thereby regulating climate change. These ideas should receive more attention in the future, as our supplies of non-renewable resources dwindle.
为生态系统功能而支付的概念目前正在受到全世界各国政府的关注。哥斯达黎加和哥伦比亚都签署了由赞助国政府出资的计划。巴西出台了为保护河道而支付的计划。REDD（从森林采伐和森林退化中减少排放）计划将通过奖励森林保护为全球范围的生态系统功能支付，从而校正气候变化。在未来，这些思想应该得到更多的注意，因为我们的不可再生资源供给正在枯竭。
