A nature-based solution is specifically designed, or preferably co-designed, to address multiple, interconnected problems (ecological, environmental, social, etc.), in a manner that has multiple co-benefits (also ecological, environmental and social, etc.). Therefore, it is clear that in order ...
In response to these pressing challenges, the concept of Nature-based Solution (NbS) was emerged in order to address issues spanning from human well-being on a national and global scale. Specifically, focuses include human health, socio-economic development, and ecological security. NbS has garner...
Yet, persistent misunderstandings about what constitutes a natural climate solution generate unnecessary confusion and controversy, thereby delaying critical mitigation action. Based on a review of scientific literature and best practices, we distill five foundational principles of natural climate solutions (...
It is seen as a potential solution to replace the declining wild fishery stocks. This publication is a first attempt to examine aquaculture systems within the recent framework of the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions (NbS). It reviews the critical contextual situation, highlighting ...

To support the uptake and replicability of technology-based solutions, the publication includes a detailed description of the success factors for each case study. It also provides both a framework of a technological solution architecture and a checklist to help new implementers of technology solutions ...
Climate change, at different scales, is already recognized as an emergency. To achieve the 1.5 °C goal, cities, which in the next years will assist to a further expansion worldwide, are requested to progress towards a climate urbanism. Nature-based Solu
“The IUCN-Huawei partnership Tech4Nature project is a good example of an innovative project between the conservation and ICT sectors to realize the transformative potential of the appropriate use of digital technology for area-based nature conservation impact.” said Stewart Maginnis, Deputy Director ...
NBS is designed and operated based on eight basic principles suggested by IUCN (2016), according to which NBS is a holistic approach integrating both the engineering and ecosystem component in its implementation. Currently, NBS is encouraged in both research and practice, and being referred to in...
The magnitude and pace of global climate change demand ambitious and effective implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Nature-based solutions present an efficient approach to achieving mitigation, adaptation and resilience goals. Ye
