The science, policy and practice of nature-based solutions: An interdisciplinary perspective
In this paper, they reflect on the implications for science, policy and practice of the recently introduced concept of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), with a focus on the European context. First, they analyse NbS in relation to similar concepts, and reflect on its relationship to sustainability as an

Designing for planetary boundary cities
The planetary boundaries signify the Earth’s capacity to tolerate change and set out the science-based limits that must not be surpassed if the Earth is to remain hospitable for future generations. This timely report explores how we can design the built environment within the ‘safety rails’

Restoration and repair of Earth's damaged ecosystems
Given that few ecosystems on the Earth have been unaffected by humans, restoring them holds great promise for stemming the biodiversity crisis and ensuring ecosystem services are provided to humanity. Nonetheless, few studies have documented the recovery of ecosystems globally or the rates at which
