Resource platforms and knowledge sharing opportunities

Promotion and further development of dynamic resource platforms and knowledge sharing opportunities on best practices, with a clear need for better accessibility of NbS resources and outcomes over time, but also better communication of existing evidence into policy and practice and help to assess knowledge and better share information on NbS and related initiatives.

While these appear to be important avenues to help closing the research-implementation gap, it should be noted that stakeholder consultations also highlighted the difficulty in handling the multiple standards and best practices already available, suggesting there is a challenge in tying these efforts with the need for systemic analyses mentioned previously. In addition, this aspect is also directly related to subsequent levers of the roadmap on developing capacities, so that guidance and best practices should capture the inherent variability in which NbS works best in each context in a way that is accessible and manageable for end-users.
