Guidance for using IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions

A user-friendly framework for the verification, design, and scaling up of Nature-based solutions. The IUCN’s Global Standard on Nature-based Solutions is the result of over 800 experts combined insight and knowledge on how nature can be deployed as an effective ally in the fight against climate change and other major 21st century challenges. The Standard is facilitative, with the aim not only to guide the user in design and implementation but also to continuously improve intervention’s resilience and help prepare for the unanticipated. It is based on the premise that a solution inherently needs to be responsive to a context and the outcome may vary each time.
