Description: 

This study examines NbS potential as integrated solutions to transform the current water intensive economic model to a more balanced model, where water is considered as an eco-social asset. It uses NbS as an entry point to understand the role of underpinning deep values, formal norms and incentives, and the importance of their alignment. It analyses how water scarcity and drought are framed, and the implicit underpinning economic development models and values that help to legitimise decisions
