Valuing Ecosystem Services
We investigate the economic value of ecosystem services, the natural benefits that forests, wetlands, and other ecosystems provide to:
- Assess opportunities to monetize services and incentivize their preservation.
- Support data-driven decision-making that enhances environmental and financial sustainability.
- Reveal the true contributions of ecosystems to local, regional, and national economies.
Expanding Funding and Financing Strategies​
We develop and apply innovative funding models to strengthen natural resource management by:
- Identifying and securing diverse funding sources.
- Partnering with financial institutions to promote sustainable investment portfolios.
- Exploring how financial and capital markets can advance nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change.
