NbS Triple Win Toolkit: Economics and Finance 91 The Bahamian government, for example, has created a Sustainable Development Master Plan for Andros Island, which aims to reshapethe island into a nature-based economy. This is an overarching framework for cross-sectoral planning that guides the future development of the island while balancing conservation and economic development143. Environmental and socio-economic solutions Early and equitable stakeholder engagement: When the environmental and socioeconomic contexts of an NbS are sufficiently clear, the relevant local stakeholders and communities can be identified and targeted. To ensure their effective collaboration,they need to be involved in the project design and convincedof the positive outcomes the NbS can provide for them. Such partnerships form an intrinsic part of a scalable and bankableNbS project127,133,139,141,143. As an example, a ‘social forestry’ NbS project developedby Fairventures in Indonesia secured the support of localcommunities through providing them exclusive labour rights,standard wages and a profit-sharing agreement127. The Financial Model A that is described in this Toolkit illustrates another example where offtake agreements are used to createa strong financial incentive for local farmers that participate inthe NbS development. Mapping and valuation of environmental and socioeconomic evidence: This type of information can identify cross-sectoral (co)benefits of NbS and provide the theoretical evidence that an NbS is economically, environmentally, and socially preferable to alternative investment options. A valuation study can form the backbone of successful engagement with the necessary stakeholders such aspublic and private entities, as they will be able to recognize the systemic value that the NbS brings to beneficiaries at an early stage131,139,141,143. For example, The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) has created The SAVi assessment tool, which facilitates the structured gathering of NbS evidence and has been successfully applied to valuate the contributions of Senegal’s Saloum Delta to local livelihoods and regional developments141.
