Resource description:
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are actions that protect, restore, and sustainably manage natural or modified ecosystems to address societal challenges. This report investigates the integration of NbS into economic value chains and identifies barriers and enablers for upscaling and replication. The analysis combines a systematic literature review with an NbS Business Model Canvas mapping as well as a sectoral impact quantification using input–output modelling of eight Invest4Nature Living Lab cases. The literature review and input–output modelling were conducted by JR, while the Business Model Canvas mapping was carried out by JR and CMCC with input from the Invest4Nature Living Labs.
