Nature-Based Solutions Assessment Tool

Ecosystem Planning and Restoration

Ecosystem Planning and Restoration (EPR) quantifyies the uplift of restoration and enhancement activities in aquatic and terrestrial environments by using a nature-based solutions assessment tool (NaBSAT). The NaBSAT quantifies uplift from nature-based solution projects into five themes:

  1. Water Quantity
  2. Water Quality
  3. Air Quality
  4. Biodiversity and Habitat
  5. Socio-Economics

The NaBSAT is modular in design, allowing for adaptation and expansion to evaluate additional parameters and methods. The Tool can also be applied at different tiers of detail, allowing for rapid, preliminary project evaluations and more advanced assessments.

The Nature-Based Solutions Assessment Tool calculates and documents many more functions and ecosystem improvements that are provided from restoration and enhancement projects. The Tool can be used to compare and contrast individual project opportunities, establish specific goals for nature-based solution projects, perform cost-benefit analyses, provide clear and transparent documentation of project benefits, and track long-term progress towards SDG goals.
