Assessment & Preparation

Before implementation, comprehensive diagnostics are essential. We assess your city's current policy readiness (e.g., for Urban Nature Plan/NRR compliance), map existing natural capital, and quantify the full socioeconomic and ecological benefits (Cost-Benefit Analysis) of proposed NbS. This detailed, evidence-based process de-risks future investment and sets the stage for secure, data-driven implementation. De-risk investment and establishes an evidence-based foundation for your city’s/region’s NbS ambitions.

Assessment of current state of urban nature planning, benchmarked against peer cities. Includes “State of Play” reports and checklists. 

Tailored research and opportunity assessment to identify location-specific NbS interventions. 

Baseline studies on urban nature and ecosystems, including Natural Capital Accounting and Ecosystem services valuation. 

Quantifying the intersection of nature, climate, health, and social justice, including CBA of implementing NbS and hybrid infrastructure. 

Evaluating climate change risks and providing evidence and preliminary strategy for the adoption of NbS for adaptation and resilience. 

Guidance to align NbS planning with ISO and other international standards for quality and comparability. 

Identifying barriers and enablers for mainstreaming NbS in public management and addressing gaps in existing local policies. 

Assessing the integration of urban nature policies within existing regulatory frameworks at local, national, and European levels.
