    Mapping for nature-based solutions: Assessing the utility of global spatial data for national planning

    The paper aims to support governments (through their technical teams) in understanding some of the opportunities that high-quality global spatial data offer, especially in the absence of national data. It accompanies a review of global datasets and aims to build trust in the use of high-quality datasets by highlighting some of the barriers to this for national-scale planning and how these barriers may be overcome.
