Abstract: Nowadays Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are widely regarded as a viable approach to deal with natural hazards in urban, rural and mountainous areas. Despite the increasing interest, the proper assessment of NBS effectiveness relies on the comprehensive evaluation of the technical outcomes and the environmental and socio-economic co-benefits. Within the H2020 PHUSICOS project (Grant Agreement nr. 776681), an Assessment Framework Tool (AFT) was structured, based on the selection, estimation, multi-level weighting and then aggregation of a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI), depending on the site features, the data availability and the stakeholders’ expectations. In this work, the main outcomes of the PHUSICOS AFT application to an Italian case study are discussed.
