A previous Nordic Council of Ministers project on implementation processes in eight Nordic pilot projects identified some common key aspects which affect the success or failure of NbS project planning and implementation in a Nordic context. Many of these aspects are also in line with leading frameworks on NbS and can be related to the IUCN standard for NbS.
The A-DVICE handbook focuses on the different kinds of policies, such as strategies, incentive programs and laws that may be useful when planning NbS in the Nordic region. In that handbook, you can read about policies on the local, regional and national levels in the Nordic region. This includes guidance on international goals and obligations, the Nordic policy landscape, policy integration and cross-sectoral approaches, financial instruments, education, capacity building and awareness raising, voluntary measures and stakeholder engagement, and assessment frameworks for NbS.
