- A binational (i.e. transboundary) effort can be required for some landscape-scale NbS - An enabling legal framework promotes private sector implementation of NbS - Understanding ecosystem services value helps promote NbS investment - NbS need to be implemented at an appropriate scale to prevent gains in some areas to be negated by losses elsewhere - The support of local communities and governments is important for large scale interventions

Description:
Designing, implementing and financing NbS, including large-scale forest restoration and protection on company-owned land, and working with local people in the wider Paraná watershed to restore forests and improve soil management.
Outcome:
- More than 25,000 people have benefited from increasing local capacity to manage protected forests, restore land, increase the biodiversity conservation and reduce water pollution by agrochemicals. - Itaipu Binacional has worked with 55 indigenous communities and has 11 sub-projects associated with food security. It has also encouraged the production of yerba mate and honey to help generate income and support livelihoods. - By working with local people, Itaipu Binacional can ensure that people who pay the short-term costs of forest restoration, for example by conserving land instead of using it for agricultural production, also have a share in the benefits.
