NbS in the Philippine context
Why Nature-based Solutions matter for Philippine cities, the national policies that support them, and how CRC-NURTURE moves them from local pilots to national scaling.
The CRC-NURTURE pilot cities
Legazpi, Borongan, and Zamboanga, where climate risk-informed NbS were first integrated into local planning, and the data the platform holds for each.
How the NbS screening works
