The NbS Decision-Support Toolbox

Assess costs and benefits, compare NbS performance, and receive tailored solution recommendations.

Invest4Nature’s Decision Support helps you make informed decisions on NbS investments.

Explore the three tools:

NbS Cost-Benefit Analyser

Define NbS scenarios and assess them using the Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) providing advanced insights and investment guidelines with qualitative environmental indicators.

NbS Performance Assessment

Explore and analyse qualitative indicators related to the benefits of an NbS solution. Demonstrate how specific features and solutions are linked to addressing social, environmental, or sustainability challenges.

NbS Recommender System

Get NbS recommendations based on a simple free-text description of the solution you have in mind. Explore and compare the indicator performance of already-existing NbS solutions on a map.
