Evaluating the impact of co-design for NbS
• Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services & Restoration
This evaluation framework for NBS co-design is intended for use by project teams who are planning and evaluating NBS. It may be particularly relevant to teams responsible for community engagement and co-design. Is intended to be read and used alongside the corresponding Evaluation Framework document.
Co-design is a key principle in CLEVER Cities, and in many Nature-based Solutions (NBS) and urban regeneration projects. Co-design is the involvement of stakeholders in designing or rethinking an output, through direct collaboration with the design team1. There is wide interest in the potential added value of this approach. However, there is very limited evidence of the impact and value for money of co-design, and this is particularly true for NBS where co-design is still an emerging practice.
