Nature-based Solutions (NbS) focus on the importance of ecosystems, and the services they provide people, to offer sustainable solutions to social, economic and environmental challenges. In order to make decisions with respect to the implementation and financing of NbS, it may be useful for decision-makers to have information in hand on the costs and benefits associated with the implementation of these projects, as well as the allocation of resources. This implies not only understanding the costs involved in the different phases of an NbS project, but also the social and economic benefits associated with the provision of ecosystem services. Describing the value of ecosystem services with precision can be a useful tool for decision-making in the framework of NbS projects.
The valuation of ecosystem services is a process that makes it possible to determine and express the value that ecosystem services have for different beneficiaries, with the aim of including them in decision-making processes. There are different methodologies that can be used to guide the design and implementation of an ecosystem services valuation. This document discusses the general methodological steps of a valuation process, exemplified using a process of economic valuation of ecosystem services of the Sustainable Biological Corridor (SBC) in Guatemala and Honduras

The project “Green Economic Recovery: Mobilizing investments towards a low-emission and climate-resilient economy in Latin America and the Caribbean” aimed to support selected LAC countries (Argentina, Costa Rica, Grenada, Honduras and Panama) to address the main barriers faced by countries when designing, planning and financing post-COVID-19 recovery plans aligned with the Paris Agreement.
Este proyecto fue concebido para contribuir de forma significativa al objetivo global de componente vertical Producción Resiliente de Alimentos de EUROCLIMA+
La crisis económica y sanitaria generada por la pandemia del COVID-19 ha producido cambios significativos en la movilidad urbana de América Latina, observándose patrones regresivos como el incremento en el uso del automóvil particular o el aumento de motocicletas de reparto, así como una fuerte disminución del uso de los servicios de transporte público y del uso de sistemas de bicicletas compartidas.
El proyecto busca mejorar la resiliencia al cambio climático de sistemas productivos y cadenas de valor de pequeña escala y agricultura familiar en cuatro provincias andinas, en Ecuador y Perú.
Challenges and opportunities for policy makers and development practitioners on how to bridge the climate finance gap
Nature-based Solutions have increasingly gained relevance in the field of climate action, and have been incorporated into countries' climate plans (Nationally Determined Contributions - NDCs).
