Nature-based Solutions for
Sustainable Development
Think & Do Tank
NbS Hub is a platform for intersectoral collaboration aimed at scaling up Nature-Based Solutions (NbS). Rooted in the ethos of thinking and acting, we tackle public policy, information, and technology needs to develop financial mechanisms and regulatory frameworks that facilitate the scaling of NbS with urgency, transparency, and integrity towards the Rio Targets for sustainable development, thus avoiding the trap of greenwash.
Did you know 80% of environmental action is greenwash?
Greenwash, whether intentional or unintentional, poses a risk to your brand’s reputation and the credibility of your environmental initiatives. Many environmental initiatives inadvertently fall short, leading to unintended consequences such as pollution in other sectors or biodiversity loss and community displacement.
In NbS hub we are experts in Nature-based Solutions, an innovative approach for complying with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under comprehensive solutions. The prevailing approach remains fragmented and siloed, and that is why we want to help you.
The challenge of today is to scale NbS.
