IRS990/Desc0Program 1: Domestic - Our domestic programs provide three services: education & awareness building, place-based project analysis, and funding mechanism development to protect and expand natural infrastructure. In 2017, we built awareness of natural capital by participating in more than 36 conferences and workshops. We conducted project analysis for over 23 partners throughout the nation including a benefit cost analysis that helped a regional wastewater utility secure $280M in funding for an innovative water supply/restoration program. We also helped seven urban communities advocate for natural solutions to better adapt to climate change. Finally, our work provided Northwest Tribes with economic data supporting Columbia River management negotiations.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Program 2: International - Our International Program offers similar services to the Domestic Program. In 2017, Earth Economics was invited to speak at a workshop on natural capital solutions in Canberra, Australia. We helped the City of Wellington, New Zealand analyze the total cost of their solid water management infrastructure on the surrounding environment. Finally, at the request of Costa Rica's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Earth Economics wrote a letter to the Costa Rica government supporting ecosystem services valuation as an appropriate method for assessing environmental damage and estimating financial compensation for natural capital loss. The letter supported proceedings at the International Court of Justice at The Hague.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Program 3: Ecosystem Valuation Toolkit (EVT) - EVT a comprehensive repository of certified ecosystem service values, containing over 2,000 verified values for ecosystems and ecosystem services across the globe. In 2017, we added new values from peer reviewed journals and extended the tool's capabilities to produce better valuation data for the benefits from sustainable agricultural practices. EVT continues to inform work with all of our partners needing place-based analysis. The expanded functionality will help new partners promote better agricultural land use decisions.
