The UN 2018 World Water Development Report (WWDR), Nature Based Solutions for water was launched via a presentation at the 8th World Water Forum in Brazil on 19th March 2018.

These benefits include social, economic or environmental improvement with respect to human health, food and energy security, and ecosystem recovery. The report can be accessed via the link below.
