The term nature-based solutions was put forward by practitioners in the late 2000s. At that time it was used by international organisations such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the World Bank in the context of finding new solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects by working with natural ecosystems rather than relying purely on engineering interventions.

Nature-based solutions can create more sponge-like conditions to help absorb run-off. Yet, cities have long depended on so-called gray solutions—engineered infrastructure made of materials ...
ScienceDirect is a searcheable web-based bibliographic database, which provides access to full texts of scientific and medical publications of the Dutch publisher Elsevier as well of several small academic publishers. It hosts over 18 million publons from more than 4,000 academic journals and 30,000 e-books.
The main academic full-text databases are open archives or link-resolution services, although others operate under different models such as mirroring or hybrid publishers. . Such services typically provide access to full text and full-text search, but also metadata about items for which no full text is availa
Nature-based solutions is an overarching term that includes actions known as ecosystem-based adaptation. However NBS is not restricted to climate change, and often also refers to climate change mitigation. So it is a less specific term. [61]: 284 Both approaches require benefits to people and nature to be delivered simultaneously.
Pushing Forward With Real Solutions. Garrison emphasizes that there won’t be a eureka discovery that answers all the questions about ovaries. But each step forward will help experts better ...
The emergence of the NbS concept in environmental sciences and nature conservation contexts came as international organisations, such as IUCN and the World Bank, searched for solutions to work with ecosystems rather than relying on conventional engineering interventions (such as a seawall), to adapt to and mitigate climate change effects, while ...
