Nature-Based solutions NEB Festival

Want to know about the power of Nature-Based Solutions? More than half of the world's population lives in cities, and that number is rising every day. Urban areas are becoming increasingly crowded, leading to a reduction in green spaces and a loss if biodiversity. Urban environments are losing their resilience to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. As a result, cities & towns are regularly confronted with devastating floods, heatwaves, and droughts that cost millions of dollars in damage and even threaten our livelihoods. Nature-based solutions (nbs) With this online session, we want to delve into the power Nature-based Solutions. Nature-based Solutions (NBS) are approaches that use nature and natural processes for delivering infrastructure, services, and integrative solutions to meet the rising challenge of urban resilience. NBS can provide multiple benefits to cities and address different societal challenges, including reducing disaster risk and building climate resilience, while also contributing to restore biodiversity, creating opportunities for recreation, improving human health, water and food security, and supporting community wellbeing and livelihoods.  Curious how NBS can transform cities?
