How CRU’s measure resilience improvement
CRUs translate Human Capital and Natural Resources improvements to a common resilience value, thereby defining a shared purpose to secure an ecosystem’s future
Defining a common resilience value to achieve a shared purpose across our strong starting point – water, carbon and @risk livelihoods
SETTING THE CRU VALUE
We’re suggesting each CRU represents a resilience improvement that is valued at $1,000. This sets the value of scientifically measured improvements across water, carbon and @risk livelihoods to be neither too small nor too large
RAINWATER CAPTURE SUPPLY IMPROVEMENT
We’re suggesting that rainwater capture improvement is scientifically measured using the VWBA methodology and is valued at a modest 0.1 cent a litre. This basis values 1 M Litres to be worth $1,000 or 1 CRU
WATER RECYCLING IMPROVEMENT
We’re suggesting that water recycling improvement is scientifically measured using the VWBA methodology and is valued at a modest 0.1 cent a litre. This basis values 1 M Litres to be worth $1,000 or 1 CRU
DRINKING WATER SUPPLY IMPROVEMENT
We’re suggesting that drinking water supply improvement is scientifically measured using the VWBA methodology and is valued at 10 times rainwater value or 1 cent a litre. This basis values 1 M Litres to be worth $10,000 or 10 CRUs
WATER USAGE IMPROVEMENT
We’re suggesting that water usage improvement is scientifically measured using the VWBA methodology and is valued at a modest 0.1 cent a litre. This basis values 1 M Litres to be worth $1,000 or 1 CRU
CARBON IMPROVEMENTS
We’re suggesting that where claimed, the claimed carbon improvement value is translated to equivalent CRUs. Where unclaimed, assume a modest $10 value for each Carbon unit improvement measured scientifically. This basis values 100 units to be worth $1,000 or 1 CRU
@RISK LIVELIHOODS
We’re suggesting a 1:1 valuation approach is used across the markets addressing @risk livelihoods, including skilling, job-placement, career development, entrepreneurship, agricultural, etc. That every $1,000 of @risk livelihood improvement measured scientifically to be worth $1,000 or 1 CRU
SCOPE FOR PERSONALIZATION
These suggestions define starting points for defining the value of human capital and natural resource improvement in CRU terms. Our goal over time, is to empower each Circle to create their own market mechanisms to define the appropriate valuation for their resilience resources
