NetworkNature’s home for NbS in policy
Welcome to the Policy Resource Homepage
The Policy Resource homepage brings together targeted knowledge, practical insights, and strategic levers for accelerating NbS uptake in policy across sectors and governance levels.
Here, you can find a dedicated selection of policy tools, including;
- Policy Resource Support Tool - Explore a curated, searchable database of resources to support policymakers in scoping, designing, implementing and evaluating nature-based solutions (NbS).
- Policy Integration Examples – To discover how NbS are integrated into policies and planning across the EU in real-world policy examples and what is needed to mainstream them.
- Policy Brief Database – To explore relevant policy briefs featuring key messages and policy recommendations from the NetworkNature project and beyond, across other NbS projects.
These tools are designed to support policymakers directly, helping you to:
- Identify NbS that address specific societal challenges and policy objectives and design policy instruments to promote them.
- Learn from examples of how NbS are mainstreamed in policy instruments.
- Get guidance on how to measure, monitor, and assess the impacts of NbS.
All tools are freely accessible, ready for use, and regularly updated by NbS experts as new EU project outcomes emerge. They provide practical, evidence-based support for designing policies that work with nature to achieve multiple societal goals.
Core resources across all policy themes
Several resources have important messages for NbS in all policy areas; these are listed below. All other policy resources are directly linked to the policy themes they address.
