Sustainable Asset Valuation of Reforestation in Uganda

This report by the Nature-Based Infrastructure Global Resource Centre provides an integrated cost-benefit analysis of the 'Bring Back Our Trees' reforestation project in Kasese, Uganda, demonstrating the economic and environmental benefits of nature-based infrastructure (NBI) in mitigating climate-related flooding and landslides.

• The 'Bring Back Our Trees' reforestation project in Kasese, Uganda, aims to mitigate flood risks by planting trees across 30,270 hectares, specifically targeting riverbanks, urban spaces, and steep hills to reduce infrastructure damage and enhance climate resilience.
• Nature-based infrastructure interventions in Kasese provide diverse co-benefits, including carbon sequestration, biodiversity habitat improvement, job creation, and the prevention of soil erosion.
• The nature-based approach in Kasese generates a total net benefit of USD 69.1 million, with a return of USD 5.44 for every dollar invested in nature-based infrastructure.
