Urban Nature European Assessment Maps

These maps show the potential of nature-based solutions to address climate change adaptation and mitigation across 775 European cities. A set of tools using open-source GIS-based modelling, was used to quantify two benefits of urban nature-based solutions (i.e. heat mitigation and carbon storage) under three different scenarios (i.e. reference, green and grey), that differ in the amount and location of nature-based solutions within the cities.

Read our general brief on open access digital maps as well as our background brief on mapping benefits of nature-based solutions in European urban areas and check out the Urban Nature Navigator - a tool that helps you assess the contributions that different nature-based solutions can make to meeting urban sustainability challenges and to identify the nature-based solutions which fit your needs the best.
