A Playbook for Nature-Positive Infrastructure Development

Infrastructure is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. This detailed guide from the International Federation of Consulting Engineers and WWF can help you address this issue by applying nature-based solutions (NbS) to infrastructure design and development. It emphasises the importance of moving beyond environmental impact mitigation to creating nature-positive infrastructure that provides a net gain in biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. The guide summarises the range of NbS that apply to different sectors and subsectors and explains the benefits and co-benefits of NbS towards; outlines how they can be measured to promote their adoption; and takes a closer look at thirteen different sample solutions. This practical resource will be most useful to engineers, project developers, and sustainability practitioners.
