Nature-based solutions at the climate-biodiversity-health nexus

In this NetworkNature Nordic Hub webinar Carolina Rodriguez and Pauline Rebouillat from Lund University will present the "Nature-based solutions at the climate-biodiversity-health nexus" project.

They will describe the process, such as working interdisciplinary and share some insights on Nature-based solutions within the biodiversity, climate change, human health nexus. About the project: “In this project, we are developing a conceptual framework for how nature-based solutions – actions that protect, sustainably manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems - generate synergies and mitigate trade-offs between biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, public health and human well-being.

Based on fundamental understanding, this framework will capitalize on biodiversity science, ecosystem process understanding, environmental psychology and epidemiology, to consider shared drives and causal links.

To inform a joint framework, we will systematically synthesize existing knowledge.

We will consider ecological (e.g., historical and existing land-uses), socio-economic (e.g., economic, cultural, and educational) and individual appraisal (based on personal values, experiences, and interests) modifiers and mediators that may affect optimal design and spatial targeting of nature-based solutions.”
