Description: 

The British Expertise International Nature-based Solutions Working Group, with lead authors DT Global, in collaboration with World Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, C40 Cities and other key international stakeholders, has released a technical guide, ‘Financing and Implementing Nature-based Solutions in Urban Areas - a Guide for Local Actors’, to support capacity building on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in an urban setting.

This Technical Guide provides information in an easy-to-use format aimed at local stakeholders who want to know what steps they need to take to move their initial idea for Nature-based Solutions (NbS) – interventions that protect, restore or sustainably manage nature – into a feasible proposal.

The paper is designed to meet the needs of a range of stakeholders seeking rapid insights and technical support for the design and implementation of NbS. The agencies for whom this paper has been developed include:

  • Local authorities
  • Governmental bodies
  • Implementing actors
  • Private sector investors
  • International Financing Institutions
  • Multi-lateral agencies
  • INGOs
  • Consultants supporting the implementation and delivery of NbS projects.
