The project activities are divided between four Work Packages (WP)

WP1 — consists of two sub-packages: WP1a will define the scientific aspects of ecosystem services with particular reference to monsoon variability and associated water cycling, as well as climate-change related disaster and risk management; WP1b will establish the socioeconomic and policy context specific to each country, linking ecosystem services, livelihood vulnerability and poverty alleviation

WP2 — will review the state of art on the economic valuation of the ecosystem services identified by WP1 and consider the current condition and future trend of these ecosystem services from an economic and policy perspective
