This catalogue is a summary of an extensive and in-depth technical Catalogue of Nature-based Solutions for Urban Resilience developed and financed by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery at the World Bank. The aim of this abridged version is to raise general awareness of where nature-based solutions, which are still new in the market, can be integrated into urban settings. This catalogue targets municipalities and the private sector to help identify opportunities and possible projects for implementing urban nature-based solutions. The various solutions in this catalogue are illustrated with case studies from across the world, including those where cities were able to leverage private finance to scale urban projects integrating nature-based solutions.
This catalogue supplements IFC’s Biodiversity Finance Reference Guide, which includes nature-based solutions as accepted use of proceeds and is a companion resource to IFC’s Catalogue of Nature-based Solutions for Infrastructure Projects for Water Utilities, Mining and Renewable Energy. This catalogue will evolve over time as the market for nature-based solutions for urban resilience develops.
