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
NATURANCE project aims to encourage adoption of jointly elaborated equity principles, performance metrics and recommended approaches to analysis and design, in accordance with the EU framework for sustainable finance and the Just Transition Mechanism. To this end we will stimulate dialogues, knowledge sharing and mutual learning across different areas of policy and practice
The main objective of the NATURANCE project is translated into specific detailed and measurable objectives
Connecting existing major knowledge networks and fostering cross-domain knowledge
Seeking to assess existing and explore new areas for equitable insurance and investment solutions
Analysing policy and governance conditions that are conducive to sustainable and equitable innovative green insurance
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
