The SMILES Cost Action is developing an open-access inventory of NbS with environmental and socio-economic benefits. The inventory contributes to the goal of making open-access information about NbS and corresponding scientific data available to practitioners, who are often faced with making complex forward-looking decisions for which future impacts are difficult to predict, particularly when working at local scales having low data availability.

Data shared with us will be made available via the open-access inventory of island NbS that will be developed by SMILES (we will not share personal contact details online).
