NbS Dossier

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are actions to protect, manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems, addressing societal challenges and providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits. In the DRYAD project, we are developing and implementing real-life, climate-resilient NbS to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of Mediterranean agrosilvopastoral ecosystems in Europe, supporting the European Union’s Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. This document describes a selection of these solutions, aiming to address specific challenges relating to one or several of these themes: water, biological resources (biodiversity), and soil, and in all cases, enhancing climate resilience.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No GA 101156076.
