Financing and business models

The lack of recognition of NBS in the country makes it difficult for cities to access resources for NBS projects on their own. One of the closest avenues of funding for NBS actions in Brazil is the inclusion of NBS in future infrastructure projects by local governments - a guarantee of resources focused on the inclusion of green-blue infrastructure.

Currently, one of the main sources of funding for NBS projects are banks and international cooperation projects, which in the context of many Brazilian cities, is still a welcome source of funding.
