The session provides an introduction to strategic planning (Principle #1), followed by a technical presentation on strategic environmental assessments (SEA). The remainder of the session includes presentations of two case studies given by practitioners engaged in strategic planning for infrastructure at the national and sector (hydropower) levels.

The session provides an introduction to Principle #2, followed by a technical presentation on systems-based tools developed by UNOPS that help infrastructure planners prioritize infrastructure projects and systems that are responsible, resilient, and flexible from the outset.

The session provides an introduction to Principle #3, followed by a technical presentation on the biodiversity mitigation hierarchy, which can help infrastructure planners avoid, minimize, and offset infrastructure’s impacts to biodiversity, and a case study detailing how planners in Mongolia used the mitigation hierarchy to create a country-level plan for sustainable mining development

This session introduces Principle #4, followed by an introduction to the Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions (NbS). The remainder of the session includes the presentation and discussion of a case study.
