The RSPB commissioned Cambridge Econometrics to assess the ability of NBS to achieve nature and climate goals as well as to deliver a variety of public goods and private economic opportunities.

Focusing in particular on UK peatlands, salt marshes and woodland habitats Cambridge Econometrics conducted a comprehensive cost benefit analysis (CBA) and concluded that these nature-based climate solutions can indeed play an integral role in helping to deliver a net zero economy whilst also delivering noteworthy economic and social benefits.
