A conceptual framework to help choose appropriate blue nature-based solutions
Pérez, Géraldine; O'Leary, Bethan C; Allegri, Elena; Casal, Gema; Cornet, Cindy C.; de Juan, Silvia; Failler, Pierre; Fredriksen, SteinBiodiversity loss and climate change have severely impacted ecosystems and livelihoods worldwide, compromising access to food and water, increasing disaster risk, and affecting human health globally. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have gained interest in addressing these global societal challenges. Although much effort has been directed to NbS in urban and terrestrial environments, the implementation of NbS in ma...
Embracing Nature-based Solutions to promote resilient marine and coastal ecosys...
O'Leary, Bethan C.; Fonseca, Catarina; Cornet, Cindy C.; de Vries, Mindert B.; Degia, A. Karima; Failler, Pierre; Furlan, Elisa; Garrabou, JoaquimThe world is struggling to limit greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the human footprint on nature. We therefore urgently need to think about how to achieve more with actions to address mounting challenges for human health and wellbeing from biodiversity loss, climate change effects, and unsustainable economic and social development. Nature-based Solutions (NBS) have emerged as a systemic approach and an import...
