3 CONTENTS Overview TEEB objectives Watershed importance Legal Environment Context, Ecosystem Services & Scenarios Proposal of Public Policies Identifying Issues Methodology Biophysical modelling Valuation Approach Opportunities Results Biophysical Economical Challenges 3
4 General Objective: To inform policy makers how investing in natural capital supports the transformation of the country s productive and energy matrix. (Incentive Nationwide Programs Socio Bosque - Forest Partner) 4
5 Ecuador COCA WATERSHED ECUADORIAN AMAZON Privileged area (high biodiversity and abundant water resources) Cuenca delríococa Strategic area for projects related with the new energy matrix. 22 hydropower projects (operation, construction & studies) 30 % of the national energy demand (actual) 5 Dic, 2016 TEEB- CUENCA DEL RÍO COCA
6 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES Biophysical Modelling To analyze the changes in ecosystem service provisioning under various scenarios of incentive programs for ecosystem restoration, conservation and sustainable use Valuation Approach To demonstrate the HCCS s dependence on hydrological services (economic benefits)
7 WATERSHED STATE Flows of Ecosystem Services are economically invisible ES are not considered in public and private decisions Inefficient control of extensive livestock (main economic activity) Changes in the use of natural resources (land, water & energy) 7

20 IDENTIFYING ISSUES To apply ecosystem approach in Ecuador, it is necessary to improve conditions: Compatibility between development objectives (traditional structures of natural resource exploitation) and conservation of natural heritage. Sustained financing for conservation programs Support for TEEB structure process (Inter-ministerial co-ordination) Existing policies are not well instrumented in order to apply conservation actions transversally, they need: Effective citizen participation Enable institutional articulation and coordination 20
21 OPPORTUNITIES Better understanding of the area and the ecosystem hydropower service. Problem identification: Need of Watershed Organization Laws in force lack of tools for its application Proposal of legal reforms necessary to achieve cross-cutting effects. 21
22 CHALLENGES Replicate methodologies Generate new conservation, restoration and sustainable production mechanisms. Organizing collaborative watershed information systems Use this study to influence the creation of new public policies related with suitable water resources management. Study another ES Getting articulated stakeholder participation (incentives) 22
