Climate mitigation and adaptation are attempts to slow down the global climate-change process. This can be done in different ways:
• reducing the greenhouse gases that go into the atmosphere (1)
• absorbing existing CO2 from the air (2)
Plants and trees absorb and reduce = CO2 present in the air and are also viable NbS to fight the adverse impact of climate change and loss of biodiversity. Our learning scenario (LS) incorporates the following NbS focusing, on the one hand, on green vegetation for health and wellbeing and, on the other, on participatory planning and action:
• a school vegetable garden that will reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and provide food and plants that improve students’ health and wellbeing.
• a green network of schools to foster student participation and action at a local level (see map of Eco-friendly schools joining after implementing this NbS Learning Scenario:
