This publication presents a regional framework for scalable NbS, analysing biophysical conditions, land-use systems, and ecosystem-based approaches to address Southeast Asia’s diverse climate risks and challenges. By identifying opportunities, barriers, and practical strategies for implementation, the study guides policymakers and practitioners in tailoring context-specific, inclusive, and resilient NbS across the region’s landscapes. The key recommendations from the report include:

• Leverage local opportunities with tailored planning.
• Embed NbS into broader policies and frameworks.
• Build capacity and foster transparent governance.
• Engage communities and monitor progress
• Scale successful pilots with sustained investment.
