BY Marketing, there are communications tools designed, using Transmedia storytelling, in order to generate a scientific-based result to show, in a easy, simple and confident way, in order to offer a path to be involve, to people, water users, companies and government. Conclusions and recommendation Water funds are an actual and effective environmental financing mechanism that are increasing and generate key results to improve the sustainability of key freshwater ecosystems; however, financial sustainability is one of key challenges that have to face water funds. miParamo is a results - based finance mechanism that strengthen water fund and open possibilities to reply in other water funds on LAC region. The partners of miParamo are SDC, GIZ, GSI-LAC and Alianza BioCuenca, in the name of Regional Government (Gobernacion of North of Santander) and Regional Environmental Seminar: Is there such thing as innovative financing for ecosystems management? 156
Strengthening enabling conditions for innovative financing for waterrelated ecosystems Presenting Author: Ms. Kathleen Dominique, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, France Keywords ecosystems, infrastructure, financing, sustainability Highlights Investments in ecosystems can result in substantial avoided costs and a wide range of benefits. Due to the long-term nature of such investments and the public goods they deliver, innovative approaches to financing are often needed. Examples of innovative financing approaches provide lessons for strengthening the enabling environment. Introduction and objectives Investments in ecosystem services generate a range of public and private benefits in terms of valued goods and services as well as reduced water-related risks. Designing innovative financing approaches requires determining how these benefits can be converted into revenue streams, as a basis for cost recovery and to improve the risk-return profile of investments. There is a diverse range of policy instruments that can help to achieve this, including tariffs for water services, pollution taxes, charges to raise revenue for public goods, payments for ecosystems services and value-capture mechanisms. Methodology approach This analysis draws on on-going analytical work on innovative approaches to financing water security and sustainable growth in the context of the OECD-WWC-Netherlands Roundtable on Financing Water. It draws lessons learned from examples of innovative financing models that promote investment in ecosystem services and green infrastructure, building on structured discussions with experts from both the water and finance communities (development finance institutions, institutional investors, commercial banks, asset managers, venture capital firms). Analysis and results Investments in ecosystems or green infrastructure can result in substantial avoided costs and a wide range of benefits. Such schemes may have modest funding requirements (despite high benefits), but due to the long lag times for benefits related to changes in land use to materialise, a long-term strategy is needed. Further many of these investments deliver valuable public good benefits, which can be difficult to monetise and convert into revenue streams that can attractive finance. Despite these challenges, there are numerous examples of innovative financing models which can effectively combine different sources of finance to support investment in ecosystem services. These require strengthening the enabling environment through policy instruments (tariffs, taxes, PES, value capture) to improve the risk-return profile of investments. Blended finance can play a catalytic role to strategically deploy development finance mobilise additional finance. Dedicated finance facilities can be used to scale up investment in natural capital projects with ad-hoc structured finance solutions for projects focussed on protecting public goods. Such a dedicated facility allows for patient investments with longer tenors than otherwise available. Seminar: Is there such thing as innovative financing for ecosystems management? 157
