Enhance nature to help people adapt to change and disasters
Assessing feasibility and performance of solutions built on disaster risk financing and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) investments
Our ambition

Analysing models, methods, scenarios and metrics used for assessing risk-reduction performance of NbS
Build awareness and capabilities for green financial innovations, so to creating conditions for inclusive and transformative change
