NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS

Nature-based solutions & Site management

According to the European Commission Nature Based Solutions are: 

 “Solutions that are inspired and supported by nature, which 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.” Therefore, the EU Research and Innovation (R&I) agenda for Nature-Based Solutions and Re-Naturing Cities was implemented through Horizon 2020, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. The main focus of this work was on re-naturing cities and territorial resilience.
