Summary:

"Nature-based solutions (NBS) are inspired and supported by nature and use, or mimic, natural processes and can be applied strategically and equitably to help societies address a variety of climatic and non-climatic challenges. At the same time, NBS can bring about multiple economic, environmental, and social benefits, such as reduced infrastructure costs, job creation and green growth, and health and recreational opportunities. The Palgrave Handbook of Nature-based Solutions provides expert knowledge on the various policies, governance models, and technologies used around the world to develop and encourage NBS which turn societal challenges into opportunities for sustainable and green growth. Specifically, the Handbook will detail the various policies and technologies applied in locations of differing climates and levels of development and at multiple levels of governance to develop NBS for enhancing sustainable urbanisation, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and reducing risks from natural disasters, whilst simultaneously ensuring multiple environmental, economic, and social benefits are maximised. Furthermore, the Handbook will detail the various financing options available to scale up and mainstream NBS"-- Home page
