Abstract The concept of nature-based solutions (NBS) emerges as a multidimensional approach to achieve sustainable development while enhancing resilience environmental hazards, in solving the challenges posed by climate change and rapid urbanization. This article examines integration NBS new capital city Indonesia, located Nusantara, East Kalimantan, focusing on its role low carbon development. Methodologically, study explores how can effectively conserve green blue through synthesis literature, case studies, policy analyses, thereby contributing sequestration mitigation efforts. Additionally, paper potential reducing impacts hydrometeorological disasters, such floods forest fires, which pose significant threats region’s ecological integrity human well-being. By leveraging natural landscape ecosystem services, mitigate urban heat island effects, improve air water quality, enhance biodiversity, reduce vulnerability extreme weather events. Furthermore, emphasizes importance stakeholder engagement, including participation Masyarakat adat (indigenous communities), co-design implementation initiatives. Through inclusive governance structures participatory planning processes, foster social cohesion, equity, cultural advancing goals. Overall, represents transformative pathway towards building climate-resilient livable landscapes that serve models sustainability for Indonesia beyond.
