A practical guide to using reflexive monitoring for NbS

Step 5. Implement Step 6. Monitor Guidelines Connecting Nature

This guidebook offers a practical approach and tool-box for setting-up and applying reflexive monitoring. It will help practitioners to deepen their understanding of reflexive monitoring’s methodology. Think of it like a cookbook that  offers the ingredients, illustrations and steps needed to  get a great result, but instead of whipping up a tasty meal, you’re designing your very own reflexive monitoring process.

The guidebook is written to support  urban planners and policymakers, but also  interesting for others interested in urban  co-production processes that aim to support  the implementation of nature-based solutions. For example, NGOs that are involved in the scaling of nature-based solutions can use this manual to set up a reflexive monitoring process.
