The compendium on nature-based solutions (NbS) focuses on showcasing locally led initiatives undertaken by various urban actors, categorised as NbS cases across the cities of Bangladesh. The existing policies, regulatory frameworks, and guidelines are reviewed to gain insight into the enabling environment for NbS implementation. Additionally, a cost-benefit assessment is included to facilitate the informed decision-making process for investment. The general purpose of the compendium is to enhance the awareness of local government institutions (LGIs) to build future urban resilience initiatives more responsive to the emerging challenges faced by the cities of Bangladesh. Additionally, the intention of IUCN in collaboration with GCA is to capacitate and make aware future investors and implementers from government, non-government, and development partners with a holistic, responsive framework and process guide. Urban actors will benefit from insights that could assist them in identifying NbS investments and policies.
