Towards Nature-based Solutions in the Mediterranean
-
The aim of this booklet is to clarify how the Nature-based Solutions concept (NbS) can be applied in different types of Mediterranean ecosystems, using 14 examples of interventions in the region. Each of these practical experiences showcases both the weaknesses and strengths of a model that is still in the process of being consolidated and accepted by a wide community of experts. The learnings extracted from this exercise can contribute to the ongoing development of NbS guidelines in IUCN, and mostly importantly, they can illustrate what is currently understood by NbS in the Mediterranean context.
