Carbon Market:
The carbon markets aim to ensure that countries reduce their Greenhouse Gas Emissions and comply with the objectives established by the Kyoto Protocol. The market involves actors who can carry out the reduction actions that they sell to others to whom it costs more.

InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Compensations and Services) is a set of models used to map and value the goods and services of nature that sustain and satisfy human life. It helps to explore how changes in ecosystems can lead to changes in the flows of many different benefits to people.
Show moreInVEST - Annual Water Yield:
InVest service that takes into account the annual variability in water volume, given the probable levels for a given basin, analyzing the extreme variation that can be caused by changes in land use and cover (LULC), that is, analizing how hydrological cycles, evapotranspiration, infiltration and water retention patterns are altered.
Show moreInVEST - Seasonal Water Yield:
Understanding the effect of landscape management on seasonal flow is vitally important for watershed management. Water flowing through the landscape evaporates, transpires, it is drawn down a well, or exits the basin as a deep groundwater flow or stream flow.
Show moreInVEST - Sediment Delivery Ratio:
InVest service studies how land use conversion and changes in land management practices can dramatically change the amount of sediment that runs off a watershed and consequently affect source water quality. Understanding where the sediment is produced and delivered allows managers to design improved strategies to reduce sediment loads.
