The wetland ecosystem is one of the most important carbon sinks on Earth, biodiverse ecological landscape in nature, and living environments for human beings. Weihe River located Guanzhong Plain urban agglomeration, with extreme climate expansion having a great impact its dynamic changes. Revealing characteristics trends dynamics Basin key to protecting maintaining healthy development wetlands. This paper analyzed changing land use types patterns wetlands using data from six periods 1980 2020 explored spatial temporal distribution changes Basin. results showed following: (1) Wetlands Basin, dominated by rivers, saw area fluctuations an initial decline followed increase. Land slow–fast–slow trend. (2) From 2020, frequent conversions among were observed. primary transformation was conversion marshes into lakes (18.05 km2) reservoirs/ponds (17.98 km2). Approximately 0.06 km2 transformed canals/channels. (3) patches have largest area, while canals/channels smallest. patch density (PD) shape index (LSI) fluctuate significantly, reduction leads 3.46% decrease aggregation (AI). Shannon’s diversity (SHDI) has decreased 5.41%. (4) centroid experiences significant changes, river are complex. along southeast–northwest line. Canals/watercourses remain stable. Lakes exhibit longest migration. study provides robust scientific support protection, policy formulation, social sustainable conducting in-depth analysis change

Rampant urbanization and undervaluing of the natural ecosystem have detrimental impacts on urban spaces – increased flooding risk, air water pollution, stress, resource inefficiency, loss biodiversity, risk ill health. Climate change further exacerbates adverse urbanization. Despite importance ecosystem, blue green cities in India drastically decreased. The present study highlights degrading negative impacts, need for resilience Indian cities. Eco-centric approaches like nature-based solutions (NBS) are closely related to sustainability resilience, offering a more efficient cost-effective approach development than traditional approaches. paper explores concept NBS, focusing services as ‘living’ ‘adaptable’ tool make resilient sustainable with many regional implementations. It also focuses role NBS achieving United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). critically analyses five notable projects from different countries (USA, Canada, Netherlands, China, Australia) addresses viabilities intervention is observed that successful adaptation necessitates eco-centric policies, collaborative research, adaptive management practices, community engagement, strong emphasis multi-benefit approach. A proactive focus strongly recommended cities, which includes raising an understanding value nature, introducing at planning stage, encouraging investment ecosystem-based

The rapid urbanization witnessed in recent years has led to the deterioration of urban ecosystems, resulting various environmental and socioeconomic challenges. In response these concerns, implementation Green Blue Infrastructures (GBI) gained prominence as a sustainable planning approach. GBI is planned network system natural semi-natural spaces, along with other elements, managed designed provide wide range ecosystem services improve ecological conditions, thereby contributing citizens' wellbeing quality life.

To achieve this, research paper introduces novel integrated valuation framework. framework encompasses key components such constructing/maintenance services, needed costs human health biodiversity damage, well dis-services. Furthermore, conducts comparative analysis benefits, different GBIs via ternary phase diagram, shedding light on their varying contributions ecosystem. findings reveal that green roofs offer more compared GBIs, but this also highlights roof entail higher initial construction produce greater number Conversely, street trees have lower yet generate benefits. walls, despite having input value fewer result green-blue ecosystems. These valuable insights for planners, policymakers, stakeholders, enabling them make informed decisions developing cities present future generations.
