DROUGHTS OR FLOODS -Solutions co-designed with end users: Tested, applicable, sustainable, technically sound and financially viable solutions to water risks (e.g. flood and drought risk mitigation). -Solutions to support evidence based policy: in-line with EU strategic goals on Adaptation Strategy, Biodiversity Strategy, development with nature, Sustainable Development Goals, Paris agreement and Sendai framework. -Solutions that include innovative financing and social innovation: opening novel possibilities of public-private partnerships or community led initiatives and social innovation. FOR PRIVATE SECTOR, INVESTORS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES -Increasing knowledge on the role of ecosystems in the development of natural hazards and its importance for environmental and socioeconomic damage. -Viability of nature based solutions as part of their insurance business, responding to climate change and changing socio- economics in light of new development paradigms e.g. green economy, cyclic- economy, community led development. CONTRIBUTION TO KNOWLEDGE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT -Several IT tools in support of NBS planning and implementation will be developed and/or upgraded – a key one is the decision support and visualization tool for NBS planning. -Deeper understanding of ecosystem dynamics and resilience to use this dynamics to reduce the vulnerability to extreme events. -Promotion and demonstration of novel business models and insurance products. NAIAD Summary The NAIAD H2020 Project aims to demonstrate the role that nature can play as an insurance system against the impacts from climate change. • It will do so by operationalizing the Insurance Value of Ecosystems in 8 pilot demonstration sites (Demos) and by facilitating a collaborative process with stakeholders to develop an action plan to guide the transition towards Natural Assurance Schemes • Focusing on nature based solutions (NBS), we aim to demonstrate the positive value and buffer function that good functioning ecosystems can play to reduce water risks. • A key element is to find innovative public procurement and financing schemes to put value on positive environmental externalities to restore, protect and enhance our natural water systems. Significance to adaptation practice, policy and business The key contribution we aim at is to build the evidence and document the process to structure NBS projects as financially viable , starting from real cases at different scales and at different levels of development and expertise on nature based solutions.

NAIAD Project NAture Insurance value: Assessment and Demonstration
FOR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS DEALING WITH WATER RISKS E.G.DROUGHTS OR FLOODS
-Solutions co-designed with end users: Tested, applicable, sustainable,technically sound and financially viable solutions to water risks (e.g.flood and drought risk mitigation).
-Solutions to support evidence based policy: in-line with EU strategicgoals on Adaptation Strategy, Biodiversity Strategy, development withnature, Sustainable Development Goals, Paris agreement and Sendaiframework.
-Solutions that include innovative financing and social innovation:opening novel possibilities of public-private partnerships or communityled initiatives and social innovation.
FOR PRIVATE SECTOR, INVESTORS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES
-Increasing knowledge on the role ofecosystems in the development of naturalhazards and its importance forenvironmental and socioeconomic damage.
-Viability of nature based solutions as part oftheir insurance business, responding toclimate change and changing socio-economics in light of new developmentparadigms e.g. green economy, cyclic-economy, community led development.
CONTRIBUTION TO KNOWLEDGE ANDSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
-Several IT tools in support of NBS planningand implementation will be developedand/or upgraded – a key one is thedecision support and visualization tool forNBS planning.
-Deeper understanding of ecosystemdynamics and resilience to use thisdynamics to reduce the vulnerability toextreme events.
-Promotion and demonstration of novelbusiness models and insurance products.
NAIAD SummaryThe NAIAD H2020 Project aims to demonstrate the role that nature can play as an insurance system againstthe impacts from climate change.
• It will do so by operationalizing the Insurance Value of Ecosystems in 8 pilot demonstration sites (Demos)and by facilitating a collaborative process with stakeholders to develop an action plan to guide thetransition towards Natural Assurance Schemes
• Focusing on nature based solutions (NBS), we aim to demonstrate the positive value and buffer functionthat good functioning ecosystems can play to reduce water risks.
• A key element is to find innovative public procurement and financing schemes to put value on positiveenvironmental externalities to restore, protect and enhance our natural water systems.
Significance to adaptation practice, policy and business
The key contribution we aim at is to build the evidence and document the process to structure NBS projectsas financially viable , starting from real cases at different scales and at different levels of development andexpertise on nature based solutions.
