Highlights: Nature Based Solutions (NBSs) could provide a multiplicity of co-benefits. Stakeholders' engagement allows the identification of co-benefits and trade-offs. Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs) and a Performance Matrix are used for NBSs co-design.Co-benefits assessment is included as an integral part of NBSs co-design phase. Results highlight that such innovative approach can facilitate NBSs implementation.
