NetworkNature is a resource for the Nature-based Solutions (NbS) community, creating opportunities for local, regional and international cooperation to maximise the impact and spread of Nature-based Solutions. It will maintain and add to a diverse and science-based repository of evidence on NbS, strengthen partnerships and foster new relationships around a clear, strategic framework for action. This work is underpinned by an up-to-date EU Research & Innovation NbS Roadmap and NetworkNature’s six priority themes: Biodiversity enhancement and ecosystem restoration; Sustainable food systems; Zero Pollution; Climate adaptation, mitigation and resilience; Sustainable finance, investment and just transition; Sustainable urban and regional transformation.
NetworkNature’s products include a NbS policy roadmap 2024 - 2030, needs and gap analysis, tailored capacity-building for local and regional authorities, decision-makers in governments, businesses and investors, and NbS hubs, as well as pre-standards and advisory services that continue to support the growing NbS community of innovators, practitioners and developers.
Together, these actions build capacities to promote a step change from siloed, project-based thinking towards an integrated, systemic and stakeholder-led approach to NbS planning, design and investment.
