WWF (2025)
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are key to tackling the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and societal wellbeing.
To demonstrate this, four NbS pilot projects across the UK have recently been delivered with the aim of enhancing community resilience to flooding, reducing environmental risks, and engaging local communities and other stakeholders in conservation. These pilot projects have informed WWF’s long‑term ambition to demonstrate not only that NbS are cost-effective options for building climate resilience through enhanced ecosystem health, but also that they are economically viable and should be better integrated into financial decision making.
This report seeks to highlight WWF-UK’s learnings from the pilot projects and offer insights into barriers and enablers to scaling up NbS, as well as evidence on NbS effectiveness and impact.
