Valuing Urban Nature-Based Solutions

There is growing recognition of the need for nature-based solutions (NBS) to enhance the resilience of our ecosystems, built environments, and communities. Though if NBS are to move beyond being a ‘nice-to-have’ asset or design feature, their value, as well as who benefits from them, must be more holistically understood.

Join us as we launch new guidance to help users to define the benefits and value that they can draw from NBS, supporting them to develop their own business cases for investment, delivery, and maintenance of NBS, to further mainstream its consideration across industry.

Who should attend?

This launch event will be useful for decision makers in the built environment, such as developers and asset owners. However, this event will also be useful for members of design teams who wish to support the case for NBS at project level; local authorities who have an interest in adaptation strategies and green infrastructure; and financial institutions looking to increase knowledge on financing NBS.

Why attend?

This event will introduce the guidance, provide an overview of our Value Framework for NBS and convene a discussion between experts on its application in practice and next steps for the industry.
