Type of green infrastructure: All

Summary: Much of the research on different types of natural infrastructure to date has focused on assessing the broad benefits of potential interventions rather than making a business case for specific projects. This report offers a template for Canadian project champions and funders to bridge the gap between early-stage valuation and feasibility studies and project finance. Rather than starting with general categories of nature-based projects and their overall benefits, this report outlines a path to investment based on identifying specific drivers and project champions for nature-based solutions and then aligning the design of natural infrastructure projects with available financing tools.
