* Societal challenges: climate
change, food security, water
security, natural disasters, human
health, social and economic development.
Actions to protect, manage and
restore natural or modified
ecosystems, which address
societal challenges*, effectively
and adaptively, providing human
well-being and biodiversity
benefits.
IUCN’s definition for Nature-based Solutions
2. IUCN’s framework for NbS
(IUCN, 2016, WCC-2016-Res-069)
![Page 5: The Nature-based Solutions framework · Nature-based Solutions: 1. Embrace nature conservation norms (and principles); 2. Can be implemented alone or in an integrated manner with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050107/5f45aa27181eb959604e89a2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Nature-based Solutions:
1. Embrace nature conservation norms (and principles);
2. Can be implemented alone or in an integrated manner with other solutions to societal
challenges;
3. Are determined by site-specific natural and cultural contexts that include traditional, local and scientific knowledge;
4. Produce societal benefits in a fair and equitable way, in a manner that promotes
transparency and broad participation;
5. Maintain biological and cultural diversity, and the ability of ecosystems to evolve over time;
6. Are applied at a landscape scale;
7. Recognise and address the trade-offs between the production of a few immediate economic
benefits for development, and future options for the production of the full range of ecosystems services;
8. Are an integral part of the overall design of policies, and measures or actions, to address a specific challenge.
Preliminary principles for Nature-based Solutions
2. IUCN’s framework for NbS
![Page 6: The Nature-based Solutions framework · Nature-based Solutions: 1. Embrace nature conservation norms (and principles); 2. Can be implemented alone or in an integrated manner with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050107/5f45aa27181eb959604e89a2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Different types of Nature-based Solutions
interventions
1. Ecosystem restoration approaches
2. Issue-specific ecosystem-related approaches
3. Infrastructure-related approaches
4. Ecosystem-based management approaches
5. Ecosystem protection approaches
3. Links to related concepts

What are we standardizing?The use of Nature as solution for societal challenges
Why do we need a standard for NbS?✓ Ensure quality of the NbS interventions
✓ Safeguard nature from overexploitation
✓ Build common language and understanding
✓ Incentivize positive sustainable change
✓ Engage stakeholders
Why are we setting a global standard?✓ Apply it across a wide range of contexts and sectors
✓ Guide policy formulation
✓ Be relevant to the private sector
✓ Actions and impact at scale
4. Toward a global standard for NbS
![Page 10: The Nature-based Solutions framework · Nature-based Solutions: 1. Embrace nature conservation norms (and principles); 2. Can be implemented alone or in an integrated manner with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050107/5f45aa27181eb959604e89a2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Global standard for Nature-based Solutions
7 proposed criteria (and 33 indicators):
1. Nature and biodiversity
2. Transparency and inclusion
3. Adaptive management, governance & monitoring
4. Trade-offs
5. Landscape/seascape scale
6. Synergies (with other types of interventions)
7. Policy integration
