Our Mission

Building with nature for a better future

The NBI Global Resource Centre aims to bring together key stakeholders to build an investment case for Nature-Based Infrastructure (NBI). We work to encourage and facilitate the widespread use of NBI in helping to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and the global infrastructure gap.

Our Approach

The multifaceted nature of NBI requires a systemic approach to planning, valuing, and implementing infrastructure projects. Knowledge-sharing and collaboration with partners in the field are essential to this process.

Our work quantifies the positive impact of a nature-based approach for infrastructure challenges and demonstrates the cost efficiency, sustainability benefits, and nature-positive investment opportunities of NBI.

 We provide economic and financial analysis of nature-based infrastructure projects based on the latest innovations in systems thinking and financial modelling. Our support includes access to relevant data through our online database, training courses via the NBI Academy, and customized, sector- and location-specific capacity building support in collaboration with partners.
