Description

The report aims to investigate how Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can be applied in forested landscapes to reduce wildfire and pest outbreak risks, but also to improve the resilience of forests and support their recovery after such disturbances. It also discusses commonalities and divergences in conditions and strategies for NbS implementation across case studies, and identifies key learning points and remaining challenge.

The report offers elevant examples of NbS targeting three main situations: pre-fire, post-fire, and pest outbreak. A literature review on these aspect is complemented with case studies analysed under a biophysical, socio-economic, and governance lens, with the aim of identifying favourable factors for replication or scalability. The report discusses commonalities and divergences in conditions and strategies for NbS implementation across case studies, and identifies key learning points and remaining challenges.
