Access to actionable information that outlines opportunities for nature-based solutions (NBS) investments at early stages of project design is essential for enabling the scale up of these solutions, which can effectively reduce climate risks, while bringing important socioeconomic benefits. This report summarizes how the Nature-Based Solutions Opportunity Scan (NBSOS) can support the World Bank, its clients, and development partners to identify NBS investment opportunities, understand the associated benefits, and integrate these interventions into projects.Published

This Guide aims to promote the use of nature-based interventions as part of a broader portfolio of structural (risk reduction and adaptation) measures to enhance the sustainability and the resilience of road infrastructure
in Haiti, as an alternative or with similar conventional hard engineered solutions, providing unambiguous evidence to why NBS should be
considered by national and local transportation/road management agencies.
The report provides strategies to use roads for beneficial water management tailored to diverse landscapes and climates, including watershed areas, semiarid climates, coastal lowlands, mountainous areas, and floodplains.-
