ENSURE Framework

ENSURE provides a ‘one-stop platform’ for stakeholders to designate an intervention as an NbS and to map and estimate its benefits. The framework help users to identify the type of the NbS, map the factors that influence its implementation, and customise an intervention based on the targeted geography, its scale, and the stage of implementation. Additionally, ENSURE also includes a provision for conducting cost-benefit analysis, which will allow stakeholders to estimate the investment potential of the NbS.
