Climate-and-Nature Nexus through NbS and EbA
Connecting knowledge, finance, and practice for climate and nature.
Advisory
Most companies meet the IFIs at the tender. The project was shaped years before.
Climate finance and nature finance are becoming one flow of capital, and the international financing institutions and the climate funds decide where that capital goes years before any tender. NbS Praxis helps companies find their place in that pipeline in Asia while the project can still be shaped.

NbS Praxis rests on over 40 years in operations on both sides of the table: about 18 years in the public and private sectors, eight of them running water and environmental businesses with full profit-and-loss accountability, then 20 years inside the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and the Green Climate Fund Secretariat, originating, preparing, appraising, negotiating, and implementing over USD 3 billion in projects across Asia and the Pacific.
NbS Praxis brings that judgment to companies and practitioners at the climate-and-nature nexus: advisory services and specialist workshops on positioning in Asia and engaging the institutions; speaking, teaching, and facilitation; review and preparation of proposals to the institutions and the climate funds; and a weekly briefing and monthly long-form that show the method at work.
More about the practice →Advisory
Advisory services and specialist workshops for companies positioning in Asia and engaging the international financing institutions: strategy sessions and roundtables with management on which sectors and themes open the door, and how to align with the project cycle early enough to matter. For a project already in motion, review and preparation of concept notes and funding proposals, tested against the questions reviewers ask, including theory-of-change design where the outcome logic has to hold across climate and nature at once.
Discuss an engagement →Speaking
Four decades of practice at the point where infrastructure meets finance, taught and presented to the institutions that fund it. Engagements span climate and nature finance, urban resilience and green cities, and water and sanitation finance, across universities, corporate audiences, and multilateral and United Nations forums.
See the speaking record →Toolkits
Working resources for project preparation across the international financing institutions and the climate funds. Each toolkit combines public template architecture with practitioner judgment about what reviewers look for, AI-augmented drafting workflows, and case study evidence from publicly approved projects. The first toolkit, on Green Climate Fund concept notes, is planned for release in the fourth quarter of 2026.
See the toolkits →Writing
A weekly briefing on developments at the climate-and-nature nexus, and monthly long-form analysis of specific topics — published openly for the community of practitioners doing this integrated work. The same knowledge system can be adapted to your own teams; write to hubert@nbspraxis.com.
