Global standards for NBS – Dr. Rhadika Murti Global standards to facilitate NBS
In order to understand the NBS framework, utmost attention has to be given to the criteria and global standards that streamline the NBS processes.
Dr. Rhadika Murti states a list of criteria to be put in place so as to acknowledge and facilitate NBS. Among the criteria are not limited to societal challenges, design at scale, biodiversity net gain, economic stability, inclusive governance, balance trade-offs, adaptive management and sustainability respectively.
Critically, the frame work also aids streamline design, verification, and scale-up of NBS to realize stipulated targets as designed by the IUCN.
The IUCN global standards present a holistic approach designed on a basis of co-creation, conservation science, social science and traditional knowledge. Merit to this approach is that it recognizes the role of all stakeholders engaging in the NBS space; ranging from policy to grass root levels.
The global standards also do provide criteria, indication and basis of monitoring the success and progress of NBS initiatives, cross-cutting from on-ground action to policy levels; all reliant on ecosystem based approaches with an over loop of stand-alone approaches.
