In March 2020, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) released a Good Practice Brief on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for erosion control based on the findings and experience of the project Promoting Climate Resilient Rural Infrastructure in Vietnam, administered by the Asian Development Bank and implemented by ICEM – International Centre for Environmental Management, which demonstrated bioengineering techniques for road and riverbank slope protection.
After two years since project completion, the brief describes results, benefits, challenges, key lessons learned and steps forward for further mainstreaming of NBS in national engineering design standards.
