Abstract

This case study presents the self-assessment process for the Resilient Highlands Project, guided by the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions (NbS). The assessment focused on the project’s theory of change, which includes water and soil management and conservation practices for the long-term sustainability of the hydrological cycle in the Guatemalan Highlands.
