Nature Based Solutions for re-naturing cities: knowledge diffusion and decision support platform through new collaborative models (Nature4Cities)

Description:

Nature based solutions (NBS) can contribute to tackling many types of urban challenges such as the impacts of climate change. The Nature4Cities project aims to develop the following modules to engage urban stakeholders to collectively learn about re-naturing cities:

  • an NBS database including associated environmental, economic and social performances
  • an observatory of best practices and case studies of NBS projects 
  • innovative business, financial and governance models for the deployment of NBS, supplemented with a tool for identifying eligible models for different contexts
  • an impact assessment toolbox for NBS projects 

The modules will be integrated to the N4C Platform to assist NBS project developers along the entire life cycle of their projects from opportunity studies and project definition to performance monitoring.

Expected results of the project include among others:

  • NBS catalogue
  • Step-by-step guide for co-production and cocreation of Nature-based Solutions
  • ‘Preselection tool’ for choosing an appropriate NBS for the local context
