Investing in nature is more than worth it. In Johannesburg (South Africa), an integrated cost-benefit analysis shows exactly that. 👇 💡 USD 3.06 in social, economic, and environmental benefits for every USD 1 invested ⏱ Payback period of just 7 years By 2050, investments in nature-based solutions will lead to: ✔ USD 3.5M saved in flood-related repairs ✔ USD 2.2M saved in invasive species management ✔ USD 4.83M in avoided health costs related to water pollution, urban heat and floods By working closely with local communities and organizations, #SUNCASA is strengthening the resilience of more than 1 million people living in flood-prone areas along the Jukskei River catchment.
