Description	This indicator addresses the cultural ecosystem services as cultural benefits that can be obtained from NBS interventions, e.g. recreational, spiritual, religious and other nonmaterial benefits. In relation to a specific NBS development, questions can be posed regarding benefits from enhanced opportunities for outdoor activities (e.g. walking, cycling); from access to knowledge about nature and environment; and benefits from access to recreational places that are in line with local needs (e.g. extent to which the NBS fits with local needs).
