This report initially identifies some elements of value that can and should be captured to ensure that a full appraisal of nature based solutions. We assess four exemplar case studies using these key elements to examine the broader ‘value’ interpretation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS), provide an assessment on the key drivers for these projects, what has been accounted for in the evaluations and what perhaps has been left out in accounting for the value generated. This report aims to showcase how benefits from NbS can be presented in a business case format, using examples of completed NbS projects in urban settings to NbS practitioners, policy-makers, international organizations and public servants interested in investing in, evaluating, designing and implementing NbS projects.
