Tools to determine the impact of development on nature
Problem Addressed
This solution was sourced in response to UKGBC’s Innovation Challenge: “How can communities and local authorities implement, maintain, and assess the impact of nature-based solutions to enhance climate resilience?”
Policysupport.org believes that policy for sustainable development can be better (more equitable and more effective) when based on the available scientific evidence. It has therefore focused on bridging the gap from scientific data and knowledge to policy and management decision-making by building and deploying data-intensive, science-based spatial policy support systems. The suite of tools enables science to be delivered in more actionable formats.
Verification & Case Study
The policysupport.org suite of tools are designed to calculate the impact of different solutions at design stage or post-implementation and through spatial mapping or multi-point direct monitoring in the landscape.
Case Study: Since these tools represent a wide range of solutions it is best to consult this blog which documents them.
This page presents data, evidence, and solutions that are provided by our partners and members and should therefore not be attributed to UKGBC. While we showcase these solutions for inspiration, to build consensus, and create momentum for climate action, UKGBC does not offer commercial endorsement of individual solutions.
