Nature-based solutions (NBS) offer cost-effective alternatives to gray infrastructure, while building climate resilience and bringing important socioeconomic benefits to communities and the environment. This brochure provides an overview of the Nature-Based Solutions Opportunity Scan (NBSOS), a tool that provides key information on why and how to include NBS in a specific World Bank project for disaster risk reduction and climate resilience. By providing teams with geospatial analyses on where NBS can bring the greatest benefits, the NBSOS will help engage local governments and stakeholders and inform project design and implementation.
