Gap description:
1 - Further work could therefore be undertaken to address NbS governance enablers and barriers across different regions and countries, also including studies in languages other than English
2 - Future evidence maps and syntheses should consider non-English literature, as well as additional sources of information, to correctly assess the geographical spread of the evidence base. Some countries and biomes were scarcely represented, or not represented at all, within our evidence map. Although this may partly be rectified by expanding the review to more languages and databases, it is likely that there will still be geographical biases whose identification that can help direct research toward knowledge gaps.
