GlobalDES has its origins in an Massive Online Open Course on ecosystem services taught by the staff of the University of Geneva in Switzerland. The learners (i.e., students) have been asked for the past three years onwards to contribute at least one entry to GlobalDES by describing a document published in their country that proposes concrete measures to safeguard ecosystem services.
You can read more about this tool in a short communication published in the journal Ecosystem Services: A novel tool for measuring the penetration of the ecosystem service concept into public policy.
On the GlobalDES website you can find more information, download the database and contribute new entries to the database.
