how infrastructure & construction depends on ecosystem services & natural capital
key challenges
infrastructure faces escalating climate impacts, rising construction costs, and growing demand for nature-positive development.
climate resilience
infrastructure designed for historical conditions faces increasing stress from extreme weather, sea level rise, and changing precipitation patterns.
gray infrastructure costs
engineered solutions for stormwater, flood control, and water treatment are expensive to build and maintain.
permitting & mitigation
environmental permitting and compensatory mitigation add time and cost to development projects.
ESG & disclosure
investors and regulators increasingly require nature impact assessment and mitigation for infrastructure projects.
how ensurance helps
design hybrid infrastructure that integrates natural and engineered systems for better performance at lower cost
fund green infrastructure—bioswales, constructed wetlands, urban forests—through ensurance instruments
structure mitigation banking and habitat credits that satisfy permitting requirements
create long-term maintenance funding for green infrastructure through ecosystem service payments
generate verified performance data that demonstrates green infrastructure effectiveness
use cases
real-world scenarios for infrastructure & construction
green stormwater infrastructure
a development project funds bioswales, rain gardens, and permeable surfaces through ensurance, meeting stormwater requirements at 40% lower cost than conventional systems.
living shoreline protection
a coastal infrastructure project invests in living shorelines through ensurance certificates, providing storm protection while creating habitat and qualifying for resilience funding.
urban heat mitigation
a city funds urban tree canopy expansion through ensurance, reducing heat island effects, cutting cooling costs, and improving air quality with verified metrics.
