Nature-Based Solutions-2nd Edition
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
'Nature-based solutions' (NbS) is an umbrella term for ecosystem-based approaches. It involves acting with natural principles to achieve development goals and address challenges, while benefitting humans and the environment. The NbS approach includes collaboration with local communities, focusing on key elements such as: the protection, restoration or management of ecosystems and ecosystem services; the sustainable management of water systems, coastal areas, arable, grassland, and forest areas; and the creation of green zones in and around urban and peri-urban areas. In this multidisciplinary topic, studies focus on, inter alia, (a) ecosystem restoration, (b) ecosystem-based adaptation and climate change adaptation, (c) natural and green infrastructures, (d) ecosystem-based management approaches, (e) ecosystem and biodiversity conservation, (f) circular economy, and (g) nature-based solutions, are warmly welcome.
