Nature-based Solutions
At Haskoning, we ensure every project we’re involved in works alongside nature – not against it.
We’ve spent years planning and designing nature-based solutions to help boost climate resilience, reduce carbon impacts, improve biodiversity, and make the world a safer and more sustainable place. And we’re always looking for opportunities to help our clients do the same.
By incorporating natural processes into design and construction, we’ve been able to improve safety against flooding in coastal, riverine, and urban settings and in catchments varying in size from small to large. Furthermore, we have improved water quality, and the standard of life in all these landscapes.
Supported by a deep understanding of natural environments, our holistic, nature-based approach allows us to create enduring solutions to modern challenges. Solutions that are sustainable and cost-effective, and improve the livelihoods of people, the quality of places, and the biodiversity of our planet.

Nature-based solutions enhance
- Coastal resilience
- We provide a range of solutions, including sandy solutions, saltmarshes, mangroves, and coral reefs, to safeguard coastal areas. These are often combined with structural measures but combined in such a way that the natural systems can flourish.
- Urban resilience
- We help improve the quality of life in cities by protecting structural and environmental assets and enhancing living conditions, economic opportunities, and overall environments.
- Flood resilience
- Our comprehensive approach to reducing river overflows and urban flooding includes scoping studies, environmental impact assessments, design and engineering, procurement, and supervision.
- Biodiversity
- We restore and develop ecosystems, creating habitats that benefit both humans and wildlife, and provide opportunities for prosperity and enjoyment.
- Water quality
- Through a variety of natural and biological processes, we enhance water quality, sustain ecosystems, and support natural habitats.
