Examples for the evalution of solutions
Example 1: Multi-Criteria Evaluation of Wetland NbS
A team evaluated three wetland restoration prototypes using multi-criteria analysis. Environmental indicators such as habitat diversity were combined with social and economic metrics, revealing that the most cost-effective solution also delivered the highest biodiversity gains.
Example 2: Social Impact Assessment of Coastal Green Infrastructure
Surveys and focus groups were conducted with local residents to assess perceptions of new green barriers. Results showed improved community satisfaction, increased recreational use, and a stronger sense of stewardship toward the restored coast.
Example 3: Ecosystem Service Valuation Study
An evaluation team quantified the monetary value of ecosystem services from dune restoration, estimating the flood protection benefits and carbon storage. The results were later used to secure additional funding for scaling up the intervention.
