The research looked at ten natural flood management schemes created by individual Wildlife Trusts. Collectively, they had an average total cost-benefit ratio of 4:1 over ten years rising to 10:1 over 30 years.

The report, Assessing the multiple benefits of natural flood management, recommends:

  • Improved Data and Standardisation: A standardised approach to project design, monitoring, and valuation is needed to increase investor confidence.
  • Government Support: A government-led framework, including support for private finance markets and improved data collection, is essential for increasing investment.
  • Private Sector Opportunities: The private sector, including insurers, can play a more active role in NFM investment by recognizing the broader economic and environmental benefits of NFM.
