Les paiements pour services environnementaux (PSE) représentent un outil d'incitation à la conservation des services environnementaux (SE) qui sont des bénéfices issus de la multifonctionnalité des écosystèmes naturels. L'adaptation des PSE et leur formalisation dans le contexte des pâturages collectifs seraient d'un intérêt capital pour les pays en voie de développement. Toutefois, cela dépend étroitement du contexte politique, économique et socioculturel en place et de son aptitude à intégrer les ajustements nécessaires. Le présent papier propose une réflexion autour des voies d'une formalisation d'un PSE adapté au contexte des pâturages collectifs au Maroc. L'intérêt des PSE est abordé, dans un premier temps, à la lumière d'une évaluation rapide de deux expériences marocaines d'incitation à la mise en défens des pâturages. Les principaux enseignements soulèvent des questions théoriques que nous avons tenté d'analyser en examinant le rôle de la rationalité économique, de l'organisation et des préférences des éleveurs concernés par ce type de pâturage dans la formulation de la décision de l'adhésion à de nouvelles règles de gestion en présence d'une incitation. Les expériences marocaines sont analysées sur la base des informations tirées d'une vingtaine d'entretiens semi-directifs réalisés auprès d'acteurs gouvernementaux et d'experts nationaux. Les résultats de nos analyses montrent un intérêt potentiel des PSE pour promouvoir la conservation des pâturages communs via une conditionnalité renforcée et socialement appropriée, et la nécessité d'une vision politique accompagnée par une redéfinition de la gouvernance et d'une échelle territoriale adaptée pour pérenniser la conservation.

The EU Water Framework Directive aims to ensure restoration of Europe's water bodies to "good ecological status" by 2027. Many Member States will struggle to meet this target, with around half of EU river catchments currently reporting below standard water quality. Diffuse pollution from agriculture represents a major pressure, affecting over 90% of river basins. Accumulating evidence shows that recent improvements to agricultural practices are benefiting water quality but in many cases will be insufficient to achieve WFD objectives. There is growing support for land use change to help bridge the gap, with a particular focus on targeted tree planting to intercept and reduce the delivery of diffuse pollutants to water. This form of integrated catchment management offers multiple benefits to society but a significant cost to landowners and managers. New economic instruments, in combination with spatial targeting, need to be developed to ensure cost effective solutions – including tree planting for water benefits - are realised. Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are flexible, incentive-based mechanisms that could play an important role in promoting land use change to deliver water quality targets. The PESFOR-W COST Action will consolidate learning from existing woodlands for water PES schemes in Europe and help standardize approaches to evaluating the environmental effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of woodland measures. It will also create a European network through which PES schemes can be facilitated, extended and improved, for example by incorporating other ecosystem services linking with aims of the wider forests-carbon policy nexus.
