WENP, along with Avon Wildlife Trust, are participating in a Horizon 2020 project called ThinkNature to support the development of a platform that supports the understanding and promotion of nature based solutions (NBS).
NBS are defined by the EU as solutions that are ‘inspired and supported by nature, which are cost-effective, simultaneously provide environmental, social and economic benefits and help build resilience. Such solutions bring more, and more diverse, nature and natural features and processes into cities, landscapes and seascapes, through locally adapted, resource-efficient and systemic interventions’ (source: The EU Research and Innovation policy agenda on Nature-Based Solutions).
To learn more about the project visit www.think-nature.eu/ or get in at [email protected] if you have a case study that demonstrates NBS and would like it to feature on the platform.
