Description: 

These research objectives of the report are:

  • to develop a framework for the design and implementation of NbS that is compatible with Chinese policy
  • to establish a prototype database of national and international NbS case studies;
  • to propose an outline framework that enables the benefits and societal contributions of NbS outcomes to be consistently and comprehensively measured according to internationally adopted natural capital and national accounting principles.

All the research objectives used the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions as a consistent framework of enquiry. This report proposes a number of recommendations, hoping that through the implementation of these recommendations, we can promote the integration of NbS into the policy mainstream across sectors, build a top-down management mechanism, establish a diversified funding mechanism, strengthen the research from theory to practice, then from practice to policy. Besides, enhance human resource and equipment investment, and public participation
