CITY FOR BIODIVERSITY: THE ROLES OF NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS IN EUROPEAN CITIES

This report summarises the first analysis of nature-based solutions (NbS) across European cities in terms of their contributions to biodiversity goals. Drawing on a sample of 199 nature-based solutions from the Urban Nature Atlas1 established by NATURVATION, which mainly involved three types of urban settings (i.e. large urban parks and forests, rivers/streams/estuaries, and community gardens), they identify how cities work with NbS to conserve nature, restore nature, and to thrive through harnessing nature’s contribution to people.
