Scaling investments in Nature-based Solutions
for Climate Resilient Infrastructure
The University of Oxford, in partnership with the Global Centre for Adaptation (GCA), is developing advanced analytical tools that can identify and map opportunities for NbS projects supporting infrastructure resilience, supported by UK International Development with funds from the UK government.

Global Tool for Nature-based Solutions (NbS)
The Global Tool addresses data gaps by
1) assessing and pricing climate risks to infrastructure,
2) quantifying the protective value of nature-based assets, and
3) identifying NbS investment opportunities
By providing actionable data to policymakers, financial institutions, and investors, the tool supports integrating NbS into infrastructure planning, mobilizing adaptation investments, and embedding resilience globally.
Investors Brief – Tanzania
Leveraging these analytics, GCA has developed an Investor Brief for Tanzania, outlining high-impact NbS investments. A prioritized pipeline of 10 top projects has been identified based on infrastructure criticality, investor types, and economic and biodiversity metrics.
Finance Report
Scaling funding to effective nature-based solutions (NbS) for adaptation is key to tackle climate change and support sustainable development. NbS can play a crucial role in adaptation and investments deliver multidimensional benefits for climate mitigation, resilience, people and livelihoods as well as the protection, maintenance, or enhancement of biodiversity.
This report is a first output from the project “Global Tools to Unlock Capital for Investments in Nature-Based Solutions” of the Global Center on Adaptation in partnership with the Environmental Change Institute (ECI) at the University of Oxford.
Investors Brief – Bangladesh
Leveraging these analytics, GCA has developed an Investor Brief for Bangladesh, outlining high-impact NbS investments. A prioritized pipeline of 10 top projects has been identified based on infrastructure criticality, investor types, and economic and biodiversity metrics.
