Primary Functions

  • Make the business case for investing in natural infrastructure, including healthy river basins and wetlands

Detailed Description

This online platform strengthens the business case for investing in natural infrastructure, demonstrating cost-efficient solutions with compelling co-benefits for society and the environment. It also includes case studies from different industries leveraging various ecosystem services and tools to guide business decision-making, such as a cost-benefit analysis tool.

The platform has been developed in collaboration with CH2M, The Nature Conservancy, program Co-Chairs The Dow Chemical Company and Shell, as well as a group of more than 30 companies. This important work will contribute to the ultimate objective of the WBCSD’s natural infrastructure initiative: by 2020, companies systematically assess natural infrastructure options when investing in new sites or projects, thereby contributing to the protection, restoration and creation of new ecosystems.
