With the increasingly frequent and intense impacts of climate change on cities, nature-based solutions (NBS) have emerged as a core strategy for adapting to this reality.
Nature and ecosystems provide valuable services to people, from climate regulation to the promotion of health and well-being. Reintegrating these services into the urban landscape is a critical part of the transformation required for cities to face complex challenges, such as the impacts of increasingly intense rainfall, extreme heat, and pollution. At the same time, it can enhance resilience and expand access for the most vulnerable populations to essential infrastructure, leisure spaces, and economic opportunities.
