Costa Rica background

The World Bank has described Costa Rica as a “development success story” having experienced 25 years of steady economic expansion, based on outward oriented growth, openness to foreign investment, and gradual trade liberalisation.

Costa Rica pioneered the concept of payments for environmental services (PES) to further forest and biodiversity conservation. It is the only tropical country in the world to have reversed deforestation.
