Description: 

NBSOS is a geospatial analysis and a participatory process that is offered as an on-demand service for NbS investment opportunity mapping in cities around the world. It aims to support World Bank teams, governments, and other investors to understand which NbS types have most potential in a city, what potential project sites are, what their potential benefits are, and how NbS can complement gray infrastructure. The NBSOS methodology is designed in a way that its deliverables—including results, interpretation, and recommendations, and geospatial data package—can be prepared in approximately six weeks.
