Nature-based Solutions (NbS) offer powerful ways to address a wide range of societal challenges, such as biodiversity loss, climate impacts, pollution, and food insecurity. At the same time, they support a just and sustainable transition. To enable effective policy uptake and implementation, NetworkNature has organised the knowledge from the NbS Community and for anyone interested in NbS across six key Policy Themes.
Through these individual Policy Themes pages, users can access NbS knowledge, tools, and tailored support. Each theme section provides:
- Curated knowledge and guidance, including tools, standards, and best practice examples
- Accessible facts and figures, which are the synthesis of scientific evidence and project outputs, to support informed decision making
- Customised packages of products and services, developed in collaboration with partners and adapted to meet the real world needs of practitioners and policymakers
- Links to relevant advisory services and initiatives, helping connect users with additional support
