Urban rivers deliver a broad range of contributions nature to human development. The exploitation the riverine ecosystem services evolves with uncertainty. In addition current decreasing health and changing climate, impact societal development on river system directly reduces potential delivery future services. What are drivers design urban parks what upcoming challenges will need be addressed? This paper presents results an ex-post-analysis comparative analysis planning orientations two parks, Isar River in Munich (Germany) American Sacramento (U.S.). contribution describes evolution based strategy, identifies changes discusses for that addressed short long term. shows park designs occur larger context demographic, technological, economic changes. does not intend solve very complex urgent case study sites face but rather highlight research needs support adaptation strategies.

Stakeholder Participation for Nature-Based Solutions: Inspiration for Rural Area’s Sustainability in China

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(22), P. 15934 - 15934

Published: Nov. 14, 2023

Due to the current pressure of rural modernization and industrialization, areas are facing social environmental challenges such as a lack cultural identity, low democratic participation, destruction landscape ecology, especially in China, large representative developing country. The nature-based solutions (NbS) approach states that achieving multiple benefits nature for health well-being requires wider stakeholder collaboration integration into policies. Although many scholars have argued NbS significant positive contribution sustainability areas, there is still clear pathways guide farmer participation address issues. This paper first summarizes theoretical research practical experience through systematic review. literature analysis mainly conducted from five perspectives: policies, benefits, challenges, methods, frameworks. Combined with “farmers main body” principle China’s revitalization strategy, this study proposes (1) stimulate farmers’ awareness protection; (2) enhance sense ownership; (3) ability take action improve ecological environment; (4) integrate eco-design their lives, make protection education deeply rooted people’s hearts, cultivate green farmers.

Transformative adaptation is essential to face the unprecedented biodiversity and climate change crises resulting loss in Nature’s Contribution People (NCP). Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can accelerate this transformation of social-ecological systems. Understanding drivers decision-making context that support NbS implementation crucial address potential bottlenecks barriers for such a transformative adaptation. Here, semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers twenty implemented Alps. Their contexts investigated using values - rules knowledge framework their characteristics. A clustering analysis revealed three types characterized by specific groups levers barriers. Firstly, Local are self-sufficient initiatives motivated relational nature. They supported informal governance share experiential adaptive capacity Secondly, Green deal employ gradual practices funding opportunities or regulations experiment new approaches fostering instrumental Thirdly, Multi-scale co-production benefit larger areas communities. social acceptance rest on extensive participatory processes involving local practitioners diverse This last group designed persist even when challenged instability opportunities. These findings suggest order NbS, future policies need to: i) foster communities facing economic constraints implementing NbS-related practices; ii) transdisciplinary programmes create an inclusive network around iii) adapt incentives enable through NbS. macro-regional strategy may have these challenges.

Can nature-based solutions support economic recovery? A review of reviews on the economic outcomes of NbS

EarthArXiv (California Digital Library), Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Aug. 10, 2023

Nature-based solutions (NbS) involve working with nature to address societal challenges, benefits for both people and biodiversity. However, their potential role in recovery from economic crises, such as those arising conflicts or pandemics, remains underexplored. We conducted a systematic review of reviews on the impact nature-based interventions. From 46 relevant reviews, most demonstrated positive outcomes income employment, but national-scale growth assessments were scarce. Half cases featured food production investments, much evidence was sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia Pacific. The few that compared NbS alternative approaches found delivered equal higher outcomes. also deliver wider water security, flood protection community empowerment, which enhance prosperity resilience. identified factors affect delivery trade-offs, finding should adhere best practice standards (especially by involving local communities disadvantaged groups design implementation) more equitable nature.We find well-designed can create diverse job opportunities at different skill levels, diversify income, improve resilience, providing rapid flexible response shocks be targeted deprived communities. By bringing together traditional, scientific knowledge, drive eco-innovation, accelerating transition clean, efficient, circular economy, high multipliers cascade indirect induced effects throughout economies. underscores need include investment programs concurrently economic, environmental, challenges. we reiterate calls better monitoring social ecological suggest development comprehensive accounting systems track public private investments.
