NatureInsight

NatureInsight unlocks insights into nature-based solutions. This web-based mapping and decision-support tool helps users identify, test and evaluate nature-based solutions across Great Britain. It addresses environmental impact, land use, sustainability, vegetation, water modelling, mapping and risk assessment needs relevant to cities, construction and public administration.

The tool maps suitable interventions and estimates their potential effects across several connected considerations. These include flood flows, water storage, carbon sequestration, habitat improvement and biodiversity, alongside implementation costs. By bringing intervention suitability, estimated environmental effects and costs into one mapping and decision-support environment, NatureInsight supports the evaluation of nature-based solutions across Great Britain.
