This guide helps users account for and measure the stacked water,1 carbon, biodiversity and socio-economic benefits of a Nature-Based Solution NBS project. Accounting for these benefits will improve a company’s impact reporting and help build the business case for green solutions, thereby supporting widespread investment, implementation and upscaling of NBS. This work will increase awareness of the value of NBS, not only for ecosystem health and
community development, but also for companies directly.
