PROJECTS TACKLE THE CLIMATE
AND BIODIVERSITY CRISIS

Nature-based solutions (NBS) are inspired and supported by nature, they are
cost-effective, simultaneously provide environmental, social and economic benefits
and help build resilience; such solutions bring more, and more diverse, nature and
natural features and processes into cities, landscapes and seascapes, through locally
adapted, resource-efficient and systemic interventions. NBS must benefit
biodiversity and support the delivery of a range of ecosystem services.
