This report provides an easy-to-use framework for assessing nature-based solutions (NbS) for adaptation projects based on internationally recognized principles and standards. It aims to help practitioners and policy-makers assess whether their project follows good practices for gender-responsive, socially inclusive, and conflict-sensitive approaches to NbS for adaptation interventions.
