Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) for Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) is a tailored evaluation framework that helps regions assess the economic, social, and environmental impacts of implementing nature-based climate adaptation measures. By quantifying both direct and indirect benefits—such as flood prevention, enhanced biodiversity, and improved well-being against implementation and maintenance costs, CBA supports informed decisionmaking.
This approach is adapted to local contexts, ensuring that unique regional challenges and non-monetary ecosystem services are fully considered when prioritizing resilient, sustainable solutions.
