NbS Triple Win Toolkit: Principles 15 Strong social and environmental safeguards – informed by environmental and vulnerability assessments – identify and thentry to avoid, mitigate, or minimise unintended consequences.This includes impacts to vulnerable communities15, biodiversityor ecosystem services1,13, or displacement of harmful activity7,16. Looking at the broader context to identify conflicting objectives and impacted groups helps to incorporate the ‘do no harm’ principle into NbS projects. In doing so, this moves NbS beyond offsetting harmful activity into generating multiple benefits for environmental and social outcomes and achieving net positive impact17. To ensure delivery of equitable outcomes and access to benefits, projects must give parity Put in place social and environmental safeguards to social and economic objectives alongside climate and biodiversity objectives (see Principle ‘Give parity to all three pillars of thetriple win’)18,19. This integrated approach to NbS can address systemic inequalities while maintaining focus on positivebiodiversity and climate outcomes10,20.
