Resource description:
This report raises awareness of the importance and immense opportunities NBS can offer in an urban context. It offers guidance in a nascent field and encourages developers, asset owners and design teams to acknowledge and assess the true value of NBS within developments.
This is an important step to mainstreaming the integration of NBS in urban developments and provides some simple tools to anchor NBS at the core of projects. From raising awareness on the multiple benefits of NBS to developing innovative finance models, this guidance encourages decision makers to explore and implement the process of NBS integration. We hope that this report inspires a wider uptake of NBS in the industry and helps to bridge the gap between finance and meaningful, holistic adaptation using nature-based solutions.
