NATURESCAPES

Project Outline

Nature-based solutions are interventions designed to use the properties of nature to address multiple sustainability challenges. As they are increasingly used across cities and their surrounding rural and coastal areas, our landscapes are changing.

The focus of the NATURESCAPES project is nature-based solutions from a landscape perspective. We are exploring how this is happening and adding up on the ground, and what it means for nature and society. 

Can we work with multiple nature-based solutions to create outcomes that address long-standing socio-economic challenges, enhance biodiversity and respond to climate change? Or do we face trade-offs between different places, people and outcomes? 

Working in a transdisciplinary consortium involving universities, consultants and NGOs, we hope to identify how new kinds of NATURESCAPES can generate transformative change for the future.
