Nature-based solutions (NbS) provide a cost-effective and flexible approach to build climate-resilient communities. In addition to reducing harm from worsening climate hazards, they simultaneously provide multiple co-benefits. NbS for climate action remain underused by communities, however, due to unfamiliarity with their multi-solving potential and difficulties valuing benefits for the business case. This project seeks to develop knowledge products to overcome these challenges and help communities craft a strong case for scaling-up investment in NbS. Funding is sought for two economic case studies in smaller Alberta communities, to help unlock the potential for investment in NbS outside of the main cities.
