===== Hypothesis: Economic valorisation of natural resources and ecosystem services initiates new compensations schemes =====

Improvements in assigning monetary value to ecosystem services / Alpine resources makes aware of economic value and society’s dependency of ecosystem services -> infor-mation can be used by policy-makers to identify market and policy failures, e.g. dysfunctional incentives/subsidies that contribute to environmental degradation -> awareness rais-ing and  creating positive incentives, e.g. linking payments to recognizable and valuable services -> spatial development could take advantage of these insights and use them for im-proved balancing between natural resource capacities and society’s demands
