NbS Learning Scenarios

Better awareness of the opportunities, benefits and limitations of nature-based solutions has been identified by citizens and experts as one of the main factors that could facilitate the transition to more sustainable cities and territories. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) use nature and ecosystems to deliver social, ecological and economic benefits, increasing biodiversity and contributing to climate change adaptation and mitigation.

However, the educational potential of NbS remains largely unexplored, whilst innovative programmes and resources around NbS are currently missing from formal and informal education programmes for children and families. Building on scientific evidence and on experiences from NbS demonstration projects in cities, this educational pilot study will exploit recent research results to develop innovative educational programmes and resources to raise awareness on nature-based solutions (NbS) and their benefits among children, young people and their families.
