Description:
Urban Forests as nature-based solutions (UF-NbS) are a subset of nature-based solutions that build on tree-based urban ecosystems to address societal challenges, simultaneously providing ecosystem services for human well-being and biodiversity benefits. UF-NbS include peri-urban and urban forests, forested parks, small woods in urban areas, and trees in public and private spaces.
The CLEARINGHOUSE H-2020 project addresses a global challenge that unites European and Chinese cities in their quest to develop more resilient cities and liveable societies in order to improve human wellbeing. The project's main focus is on tree-based green infrastructure which is the basis for “urban forests as nature-based solutions”.
