Integrated Valuation Strategies

Our valuation methodology encapsulates the most recent developments in environmental science and land policy; building on past efforts and forging innovative new paths towards a green economy. Using an ecosystems services framework, our models and metrics and are both scalable, modular and customizable as required by diverse situations and environments, even under conditions of data scarcity or future uncertainty.

A Toolbox for Policy Makers

Factors preventing optimal land use include increased competition for limited natural resources, socio-economic pressures, climate change, and environmental degradation. OSLO allows policy makers to efficiently prioritize interventions and calibrate policies to maximize socio-economic benefits and minimize negative externalities.
