This technical report provides contextual information and recommendations to help plan, design,
and implement NbS for adaptation that advance GESI while enhancing resilience, biodiversity,
and ecosystem integrity. It contributes to the nascent field of gender-responsive and inclusive NbS
by offering general recommendations, tools, and applicable case studies to provide practitioners
with a tangible perspective on the concepts discussed. It first introduces the context and rationale
for a gender-responsive approach to NbS for adaptation. It then provides an analytical frame for
GESI in NbS programming. Finally, it identifies entry points and offers advice for integrating
GESI considerations into the NbS project cycle, supported by a series of case studies.
