The IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based solutions has eight criteria and associated indicators that allow users to assess the aptness, scale, economic, environmental, and social viability of a nature-based intervention; consider its possible trade-offs; ensure transparency and adaptive project management; and explore possible linkages to international targets and commitments. It consists of a user guide and self assessment tool which identifies areas for improving and learning.
