Conclusions and recommendation<br />

Natural infrastructure is a vital national asset that supports livelihoods, sustains economic development and<br />

helps climate change adaptation. However, in many countries globally, natural infrastructure remains<br />

undervalued and poorly recognised at the national level. Tracking the benefits from natural and built<br />

infrastructure helps to balance and enhance benefits in the basin. Because such mixed portfolios imply<br />

benefit trade-offs, these need to be negotiated through transparent and inclusive decision-making processes<br />

involving a range of stakeholders. The WISE-UP approach provides methods, tools and stakeholder<br />

engagement which together highlight the social, economic and environmental value of synergistic portfolios<br />

of built and natural infrastructure.<br />
