Nature-Based Solutions

Aims & Scope

Nature-Based Solutions is a home to research of nature-based solutions (NBS), to both broaden and deepen scientific knowledge on NBS and advance its adoption, synthesis, and application to address critical societal challenges at multiple scales.

NBS utilize nature and/or ecological processes to strengthen a system's capacity to deal with multiple and interconnected challenges.

NBS represent a holistic approach to climate change adaptation and resilience building, with equal reliance upon social, environmental, and economic pillars.

Nature-Based Solutions aims to support NBS mainstreaming through the generation of an increasingly detailed knowledge base on NBS (co-)design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of performance, impact and cost-effectiveness, and adaptive management of NBS.

This knowledge is intended to inform the further development of policy instruments related to topics including: climate change adaptation- biodiversity enhancement- disaster risk reduction- natural resource management- sustainable agricultural practices- sustainable land use planning and urban development- reduced greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution mitigation- circular economy
