Additional information:

The H2020 project Nature4Cities conceived a NbS typology  thought to be easily accessible even to non-specialists and developped a "NbS explorer" where users are free to stroll around NbS.

There you can watch pictures, see all the challenges that a NbS is addressing, and conversely, all the NbS addressing a particular challenge. You can also see at which scale the NbS is developed and download an extended factsheet giving a whole raft of details on the NbS.

This tool was developed in the scope of the project Nature4Cities. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730468
