D4.1 Monitoring and evaluation framework
By TECNALIA
This document describes the monitoring framework of the project, introduces the roles of the relevant stakeholders, and presents the methodology proposed for the co-design process of KPIs. This is a living document which will be updated and iterated throughout the life of the CLEVER Cities project, culminating in a final version for wider dissemination.
D4.3 Monitoring strategy in the FR interventions
By TECNALIA
This report falls focusses on assessing nature-based solutions impact by establishing and implementing a robust, long-term, integrated yet locally-adaptable co-monitoring framework and platform. As in D4.1, the approach for Key Performance Indicators definition is underpinned by each city's timeframe, co-design process and co-monitoring programmes.
D4.4 Innovation Pathway in CLEVER
By TECNALIA
This report is the third of the three sessions of the deliverable D.4.4. (Impact Assessment analysis report in CALs) of the CLEVER Cities project, led by TECNALIA and which total responsability recalls in this document authors´. It was agreed with the leaders of the deliverable (HWWI) that the different parts would be delivered individually. The content here presented are based on the results of the LIST tool, developed by TECNALIA, and applied by the frontrunner and fellow cities. It responds to the development of the subtask T.4.5.3. – TRL innovation progress of the deployed NbS.
D5.1 Market Analysis Report
By EBN and HWWI
This report provides a market analysis of selected NBS implemented in CLEVER Cities front-runners London, Hamburg and Milan. Each NBS is analysed on the national, regional and city levels, considering political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal factors. The analysis is meant to provide support to city planners and companies in understanding the market forces influencing the implementation of NBS in urban planning.
D5.3 Governance, business, and finance models
By EBN, Social Finance and ICLEI
This report looks at CLEVER solutions to bring NBS from innovation to market. It is divided into three sections: Governance Models for NBS, Business Models for NBS and Financing Models for NBS. Together, these sections make up deliverable 5.3 which connects CLEVER solutions with business and financing opportunities. All three sections of this deliverable tie together to support the creators of NBS interventions to implement sustainable projects with long-term value for all stakeholders.

D7.3 Website
By ICLEI Europe
This document presents how the CLEVER Cities website was developed for ‘Sharing the CLEVER Cities story’.
Report: Co-design of Nature-Based Solutions with Citizens: Learnings from a sector literature review
By Social Finance
This document reviews and collects recommendations on how to co-design NBS successfully, and illustrates their guidance through real case studies, sharing examples from projects which have applied these co-design techniques to their own NBS.
Evaluation Guide: Evaluating the impact of co-design for Nature-Based Solutions
By Social Finance
This evaluation framework for NBS co-design is intended for use by project teams who are planning and evaluating NBS. It may be particularly relevant to teams responsible for community engagement and co-design. Is intended to be read and used alongside the corresponding Evaluation Framework document.
