Nature-Based Infrastructure 5-Week Live Program 2025
The interactive 5-Week Live Program about nature-based infrastructure (NBI) is back this autumn, helping investors, policy-makers, infrastructure planners, and other stakeholders to make the case for building with nature.
The Nature-Based Infrastructure Global Resource Centre's 5-week live program equips you with the tools to evaluate and analyze the economic performance, co-benefits, and financing potential of NBI.
This course explores how nature-based solutions can deliver—or complement—the services provided by conventional "grey" infrastructure, especially in communities most affected by climate change. Every year, the program brings together professionals from across the world. In 2024, the NBI Global Resource Centre registered over 700 stakeholders from 109 countries and received a 98% satisfaction rate.
"This course is invaluable to anyone working with natural resources and projects relating to environmental management and conservation. It was an eye-opener for me as a local government official to see how nature can be valued and how we have a role to play in changing the status quo. I would recommend this course to all local, provincial, and national government officials, no matter their position or field of work."
How Does It Work?

"This has been the best course in relation to NBI that I've done until now. The combination of remote classes and written material is very good, and the presenters have been excellent. It also covers a great range of things related to NBI."
