Nature-based solutions for economic recovery in the global south

Bangladesh, Global, Peru

The aim of this project is to unpack the contribution of NbS to short term economic recovery potential (ERP), and how this relates to long term development gain, while framing these in a policy setting in a way that supports systemic change. In other words we seek to explore the extent to which NbS make economic sense, and how (or not) this contributes to climate, and biodiversity outcomes. The intention is to contribute to policy guidelines around how to integrate NbS into economic recovery packages. As well as conducting a global systematic review of reviews of the ERP of investments in NbS, we are conducting detailed case study work in Peru and Bangladesh.
