When filtering the top two advanced filters, ‘Challenges Addressed’ and ‘Nature-based Solutions’, only the projects which satisfy all selected criteria under both of these filters will be displayed in the search results.
Filtering by the other characteristics (location, budget etc.) will however show results for all of the selected characteristics simultaneously.
