To address this 'triple challenge' and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the world needs to rapidly scale-up and roll-out the deployment of Nature-based Solutions (NbS), defined as "actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems, that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits". As part of WWF-UK's recently launched Climate Solutions Partnership, in collaboration with HSBC and the World Resources Institute, we are delivering a Nature-based Solutions Accelerator (NbSA) that will work with NbS projects worldwide, in a number of countries and ecosystems to: • Develop business and investment models for NbS enterprises with high growth potential, • Create the right incentives, • Level the playing field, • Learn from best practices. To achieve these aims, the WWF Accelerator team requires expertise to conduct an analysis of 'bankable' NbS case studies from around the world, i.e. high-quality NbS interventions which have been successful in securing commercial finance (exclusively or as part of a blended finance model). The analysis will identify the common factors for success and deepen our understanding of the sorts of business models, blends of investors and financial resources that are being successfully used to support NbS globally. The outputs may also provide the basis for new communication materials. Please refer to the attached Terms of Reference for full details about the objectives and outputs required. The document also explains how to respond to this opportunity. Responses should sent by email to Lewis Charters (WWF-UK Nature Based Solutions Specialist - ) and Sonia Sezille (WWF-UK Climate Solutions Partnership Programme Manager - ) not later than Friday 5th November 2021 at 12.00 GMT.
