New to Nature-based Solutions (NbS)? You are in the right place.
Nature-based Solutions, or NbS, are ways of working with nature and people to solve everyday challenges, like reducing floods and fire risks, cooling our cities, creating jobs, while protecting wildlife, boosting biodiversity, and improving our well-being. Instead of relying only on concrete or machines, NbS draws on the functions of living systems, such as trees, forests, rivers, coasts, wetlands, and gardens, to create healthier, more resilient places for people and nature. Whether you make policies, design cities and landscapes, work with lands or seas, run a business, do research, or are simply curious, this platform will show you how working with nature can help solve real-world problems.
