How can nature and biodiversity help to solve society’s most pressing challenges, from enhancing our health and wellbeing to avoid floods and fires?
Welcome to the NetworkNature interactive Nature-based Solutions Walkthrough!
Based on 12 Societal Challenges, this interactive tool makes it easy to explore these complex topics.
First identified in the NbS Task Force 2 Indicator Handbook, these challenges have also been informed by other important international frameworks and standards such as the UN SDGs, IPBES, the IUCN NbS Global Standards and the EU Green Deal.
Our goal as NetworkNature is to promote widespread understanding of how NbS can contribute to systemic change and help achieve international commitments on biodiversity, climate action and sustainable development.
Each segment of the tool below refers to one of 12 Societal Challenges. Each challenge area focuses on ways in which NbS can deliver measurable environmental, social and economic outcomes. Clicking on each one will give you more information about the challenge, the potential benefits and co-benefits of NbS, and further resources if you want to learn more.
