“… review the policy impact of almost three decades of non-market valuation studies related to watersheds in the Nordic countries and evaluate the criteria for uptake of valuation estimates in policy and differences between countries initiate comparative primary valuation studies to further demonstrate the use of the AQUAMONEY Guidelines for using economic valuation under the Water Framework Directive undertake primary valuation studies across Nordic populations that are representative at national and county/regional level -for generic hypothetical policies -for other cultural services, following the example of NMC funding for valuation of recreational fisheries (Toivonen, Appelblad et al 2000) fund site and project, policy, and measure specific valuation studies of populations within particular watersheds, and particular regulating services in watersheds studies using production function and damage function approaches demonstrate possibilities and limitations in scaling available water body and watershed specific valuation studies for purposes of ecosystem capital accounting initiate valuation studies that evaluate the spatial patterns of ES values and their dependence on distance, direction, scale and resolution, and implications for improvements in national accounting, priority-setting and instrument design sponsor research on the design of economic instruments in the policy mix 2 of WFD "programmes of measures" for watershed management (such as payments of ES) -assessing their ecological effectiveness, benefits of derived ES, technical and transaction costs of implementation, distributional impacts and legitimacy, institutional and political barriers and opportunities for implementation support the development of Nordic visualizations and illustrations of ecosystem services and in Nordic languages to help promote public awareness, as an alternative to economic valuation promote similar reviews to VALUESHED of specific other ecosystems in Nordic countries (e.g. forests, coastal wetlands and open sea ecosystems), addressing interdependencies of valuation estimates between ecosystems (e.g.…”
