OPERAS D4.7 Implementation Guidance

D4.7 developed guidance for the design and implementation of schemes that can use the NC/ES concepts: Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES); Offsetting; Standards, Certificates, Reporting, Labelling and Procurement; Spatial Planning, Regulation and Development Control; and Nature Based Solutions. These represent important modes of implementation that operate under different logics in different application arenas (market creation and support, green business and finance, spatial planning), but which combine synergistically to support the development of Green Infrastructure (GI) and the implementation of GI strategies.
