25 $ how to invest?
26 which activities? where in the watershed?
27 Resource Investment Optimization System Identify places where benefits of activities are biggest An approach general enough to be adapted to local conditions Easy with available data Give standard outputs for freshwater services
28 Targeting Investments Biophysical effectiveness Feasible activities Stakeholder preferences Cost data & Budget Investment Portfolio
29 Investment Portfolio Cauca Valley, Colombia
30 What is the return on investment?
31 What is the return on investment?
32 32 water funds established in Latin America, Also in Beijing, Kenya United States next?
33 Putting ecosystem services into action Ecosystem services approach useful in diverse decision contexts Linking science, policy and finance is critical to success Partnerships are key for maximizing impact
