Towards a global roadmap for urban nature-based solutions

Mainstreaming Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for the making of inclusive and green cities requires better understandings of the challenges and opportunities on the way. This starts with consolidating knowledge on what works and what does not. NATURA’s “Global Roadmap for urban NBS” initiative brings together experts who have been synthesizing existing evidence of successes and barriers of NBS from both research and practice, for each of the 7 world regions (North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, The Middle East and North Africa, Africa, Asia and Oceania).
