These outcomes showcase the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of nature-based infrastructure. This is a win-win for tackling pressing sustainability challenges while generating real economic benefits.
Thanks to the ground-breaking research carried out by the NBI Global Resource Centre, as part of the EIB’s partnership with Global Infrastructure Basel and WWF Greece, we were able to convince decision-makers and local stakeholders that nature-based approaches to flood management in Thessaly would be far more efficient and beneficial, than relying on new or rehabilitated ‘grey’ flood protection infrastructure, such as dykes.
[The NBI Global Resource Centre] has helped us to understand that nature-based infrastructure is a cost-effective solution for infrastructure services, especially for services like stormwater runoff... Moving beyond typical financial cost-benefit analysis to including benefits across the social and environmental spheres, to make it clear that nature-based infrastructure is a even more worthwhile investment. These innovative solutions will change our cities and the way the world is responding to climate change.
The NBI Global Resource Centre aims to bring together key partners to establish a business case for Nature-Based Infrastructure (NBI).
