Case Studies

Explore our case study map showcasing diverse examples of ways of delivering multiple benefits through NbS and navigating different policy, regulatory and finance contexts. This is similar to our global map of NbS but it focuses only on the UK, and unlike the global map it includes urban examples.

Use the interactive platform to learn about NbS cases across the UK and see their effectiveness for addressing climate mitigation and adaptation, while delivering positive ecosystem health and socioeconomic outcomes. Information on case study governance, finance, monitoring and evaluation, and trade-offs and limitations is also available.

Use the search bar to search for keywords, or use the filters to filter by intervention type, ecosystem, rural versus urban cases, the type of climate change impact addressed, and much more.

In line with the protocol for our global map of case studies, we only record outcomes where they are supported by evidence. Many of our case studies are at an early stage of monitoring, and we will continue to update the outcomes as evidence is gathered.

We are looking to expand the collection of NbS case studies which are featured on the Agile map for the UK. We are looking for NbS projects with at least some evidence on their effectiveness for addressing societal challenges including climate mitigation and/or adaptation, while delivering positive ecosystem health and socioeconomic outcomes. Information on case study governance, finance, monitoring and evaluation, trade-offs and limitations is also needed.
