The report highlights the potential of using freshwater ecosystems to implement nature-based solutions (NbS) to tackle the triple planetary crisis – climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution. It draws from lessons learned from the implementation of different projects in Afghanistan, Albania, El-Salvador, Haiti, Kenya, Morocco, and Tanzania.

To showcase the potential and application of NbS towards adaptation to climate change in urban areas, UNEP has published a report, Nature-Based Solutions for Urban Challenges. The report is the 23rd edition of UNEP’s Foresight Briefs, which highlights emerging environmental issues, systemic insights, and possible policy solutions that can inform decision-making today.

The UNEP in close collaboration with the Italian Presidency of the G20 released a report, Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Cities: The Power of Nature-Based Solutions. The report calls to attention the potential of enhancing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in cities to reduce their vulnerability to climate change.

This CTCN Knowledge Brief provides an illuminating and inspiring overview of the use of NbS technologies in adopting and implementing holistic solutions that exploit synergies wherever possible to tackle climate change and water management challenges in rural, urban and coastal areas.

This publication is designed to raise awareness on the multiple benefits of nature-based solutions.

The aim of this guide is to raise awareness of the benefits of green infrastructure (GI) solutions for water resources management
