  • Abstract

    • Valuing the Benefit of Nature-Based Solutions for Integrated Urban Flood Management in China (Available in English and Chinese)

    Such solutions have the potential to integrate natural habitats, processes, and services as part of a coherent and holistic approach to water management, particularly in the urban context. They can provide multiple functions beyond conventional flood mitigation, generating a range of benefits by restoring and conserving natural capital, improving the live ability of urban spaces, increasing resilience, and contributing to more sustainable outcomes.

  • Abstract

    • Urban Nature and Biodiversity for Cities. Policy Brief

    One important way for urban leaders to rise to today’s challenges is to bring biodiversity and nature into urban design through urban ecological planning. Such planning recognizes that cities depend on biodiversity and that biodiversity depends on cities. Ecological planning not only illuminates the linkages between urbanization and biodiversity, but also helps integrate this understanding into urban planning, strategy, and investment.

A Catalogue of Nature-Based Solutions for Urban Resilience

  • Country/ City

  • Topic
    Nature-based Solutions, Green Infrastructure
  • Published On
    August 11, 2021
  • Author(s)

  • Abstract

    • A Catalogue of Nature-Based Solutions for Urban Resilience

    Cities worldwide are facing resilience challenges as climate risks interact with urbanization, loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, poverty, and rising socioeconomic inequality. Extreme precipitation events, flooding, heatwaves, and droughts are causing economic losses, social insecurity, and affecting wellbeing. Over time, urban resilience challenges are expected to grow, driven by processes such as urbanization, land use, and climate change.
