INTRODUCTION
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognised as essential for businesses, asset owners and infrastructure developers seeking to maintain continuity, reduce climate and regulatory risk, and enhance resilience.
When designed and implemented effectively, they can deliver measurable financial, social and ecological benefits while strengthening operational stability.
But when making a convincing case to your executive board, a key challenge is translating the range of benefits brought about by NbS into a compelling business case. Our free Whitepaper, authored by AECOM, provides guidance on how to demonstrate the value of NbS, quantify return on investment (ROI), and embed this into corporate planning, supported by practical
project examples.
Benefits of nature-based solutions mapped to board priorities:
risk, return, compliance, reputation
INSIGHTS
When designed and implemented effectively, NbS can deliver measurable financial, social and ecological benefits while strengthening operational
stability.
Ultimately, NbS can deliver multidimensional value: reducing capital and operational costs, avoiding damages, and generating ecosystem and community benefits such as carbon storage, water purification, job creation and increased property value.
Boards respond to clear outcome focused messages that demonstrate risk mitigation, long-term cost efficiency and value creation.
