Description:
This paper identifies research and practitioner needs that will advance the field of NbS going forward, and suggests a brief checklist that GEF could employ to improve consideration of NbS in projects over the short term. These conclusions are based on:
- a review of some of the recent literature on NbS;
- an analysis of 30 GEF NbS projects; similar analyses by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation of their NbS projects; and
- a virtual workshop4 of 40 experts from philanthropy, academia, NGOs, GEF Secretariat and agencies, and STAP, held in conjunction with WCS and the Moore Foundation.
