This report evaluates the economic, social, and environmental benefits of planting a 70-hectare mangrove belt in Vietnam's DEEP C Industrial Zone to mitigate flood and erosion risks.

This executive summary describes natural infrastructure approaches in Canada, highlighting how wetlands, trees, and rain gardens can complement traditional grey infrastructure to deliver municipal services like stormwater management and flood protection. It presents three 'bright spots'—the City of Nelson, Halifax Regional Municipality, and EPCOR—as illustrative models of implementation across different administrative and geographic contexts.

This fact sheet by the International Institute for Sustainable Development describes the economic impact and growth potential of the natural infrastructure sector in the Canadian Prairies, with a specific focus on Saskatchewan. It defines natural infrastructure as a method of planning and working with nature to meet needs such as wastewater treatment, flood protection, and drinking water supply.

The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MSSD) issued a USD 80 million green bond on April 30, 2020, to finance water and wastewater infrastructure, including water treatment, wastewater treatment, water distribution, and flood protection.

This SEI discussion brief examines how the co-design of climate services—tailored information products like models and assessments—can better support adaptation planning by focusing on the specific institutional and decision contexts of users. Using two Swedish case studies (Karlstad and Stockholm) and the Tandem framework, the brief highlights the need for climate services to align with the user's stage in the adaptation learning cycle and to address the reality that adaptation measures are often pre-defined rather than compared as a menu of options.

A Green Bond Fact Sheet detailing a USD 4 million issuance by the Montgomery County Municipal Utility District in the USA to fund water and wastewater infrastructure.

This fact sheet details a EUR 5.98 billion sovereign green bond issued by the State of the Netherlands on May 21, 2019, which is the first European sovereign green bond to receive Climate Bonds Certification and the first sovereign green bond with a AAA rating.

This fact sheet by the International Institute for Sustainable Development details the economic impact and growth potential of the natural infrastructure sector in Manitoba and across the Canadian Prairies, highlighting its role in addressing water infrastructure gaps and increasing climate resilience.

This fact sheet describes the application of the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) methodology to two assets in Manitoba, Canada: Stephenfield Reservoir and Pelly's Lake. The assessment compares the costs of maintaining these natural and built assets against the capital and operational costs of replacing their services with 'grey' (engineered) infrastructure, while simulating baseline and climate change scenarios from 2019 to 2050.
