Gap description:
1 - Additionally, the linkages, synergies and tradeoffs between different governance barriers and enablers should be further investigated to be able to fully map potential path dependency and other system lock-ins. This would help identify who among NbS stakeholders would be best suited to tackle NbS barriers and leverage their enablers, and at what scale
2 - The analysis of barriers and their interdependencies in the literature is rather abstract and difficult to operationalise, as well as actions and solutions are often designed by looking at barriers in isolation, which can be ineffective considering the multidimensional characteristics of NbS
