NbS
&
The Blue Heart
of Africa
May 2022
On definitions
• The IUCN definition is good and combines well
with other definitions in the WWF Network (e.g.,
NbS for Climate). Use what works for your
context.
More important than the definitional
aspect is the framing:
• Does the intervention accomplish someone else’s
objective? (enough that they’ll put money behind
it?)
• Does the intervention use some sort of ecosystem
or ecological process to accomplish that objective?
• Does the intervention protect or restore nature
sufficiently that it is worth investing our (WWF)
resources?
How we think about NbS in the Practice?
Our strategy focuses on implementing & financing
large scale NbS
SCIENTIFIC
RIGOUR
Our solutions are
rooted in strong science
that add to the evidence
base in Africa
BUILDING AN
INVESTMENT CASE
01
Our solutions must be
translatable into strong
business cases that
interest the public and
private sector
03
WORKING WITH
PARTNERS
Our focus is to embed
the idea within existing
efforts and mobilize
strategic partners
04
SUSTAINED
IMPACT
To sustain our impact,
we will create a
mechanism to incubate
NbS projects in Africa
05
BUILDING AN
ECONOMIC CASE
Our solutions must
make economic sense
and focus on solving
societal problems
02
IMPLEMENTING OUR STRATEGY
1. Protect Kigali city from flooding and improve the
wellbeing of people in town by constructing
urban wetlands
2. Protect Mombasa and other urban centres along
the coast from sea level rise and flooding by
large scale mangrove forests and coastal reefs
3. Ensure energy and water supply to Lusaka and
Kafue town by restoring Lukanga swamps as a
major water sponge
Identifying ambitious cases
These cases are technically sound, economically viable and connect with large scale infrastructure development
A model based on our framing
THE RWANDA CASE STUDY
Understanding the costs & scale
Identifying the beneficiaries
How do we finance large scale NbS
A conceptual model for Kigali
Taking the next step
We have a strong technical and economic case
• Our key next step is to examine the detailed mechanisms to finance the cases, moving from theory to
practice.
• Engaging governments and strategic partners in the journey e.g., Global Centre on Adaptation
• Explore new avenues of finance e.g., Islamic Social Finance
• Sharing our work on the global stage at CoP 27
