This report highlights the persistent exclusion of commonly excluded stakeholders (CES)—such as marginalised communities, migrants, Indigenous peoples, youth, older adults, and those facing socio-economic vulnerabilities—from the co-creation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS). The report examines key barriers and synthesises practical approaches and measures that can enable meaningful participation and provides diverse examples and distils eight guiding principles for inclusive NbS co-creation, emphasising intentional inclusion, trust-building, flexibility, equity and recognition, cultural sensitivity, and long-term commitment.
