Public agencies are using nature-based solutions (NbS) to sustainably manage ecosystems and address environmental challenges related to water, air, and human wellbeing. NbS include green infrastructure such as forests, wetlands, and parks that mimic nature and function as an alternative to traditional gray infrastructure (e.g., pipes, culverts, concrete dams). The process of implementing and maintaining NbS to achieve environmental and social outcomes requires both up-front capital and long-term maintenance investments. A number of payment mechanisms exist, each carrying a level of complexity that necessitates unique governance processes. Despite the popularity of NbS within the environmental literature and the expanded use of NbS in cities, few studies have examined the governance processes and institutional characteristics underlying the use of NbS and its associated payment mechanisms. This three-article dissertation aims to fill that research gap. In this dissertation, I investigate how public agencies are paying for NbS and the external, internal (i.e., organizational), and attitudinal factors that influence the implementation of these sustainability initiatives. In my first article, I conduct a scoping review of the literature on ways to pay for NbS, aiming to inventory payment mechanisms and understand the role of finance in the distribution of environmental benefits. In my second article, I conduct a national survey of US stormwater utilities, drawing on diffusion of innovations theory to explore the factors associated with using NbS to manage stormwater by US stormwater utilities, as well as the payment mechanisms used to implement NbS. In my third article, I investigate an instrumental case of innovative finance for NbS, focusing on the institutional logics that influence innovation adoption at a public agency in Seattle, WA. In total, this dissertation aims to "shake the money tree," advancing access to NbS in urbanized areas by identifying available payment mechanisms for public good provision and highlighting organizational facilitators and barriers to widespread implementation.
