Nature-based solutions and green infrastructure

 

Traditionally urbanisation has meant the loss of green spaces in cities, which has a negative impact on water, air, soil, biodiversity, human health and the climate. A sustainable future needs sustainable cities; and this is where green infrastructure and nature-based solutions can play a role and bring green elements into everyday urban living.


The European Commission defines nature-based solutions as ‘solutions that are inspired and supported by nature, which are cost-effective, simultaneously provide environmental, social and economic benefits and help build resilience’.

 

ProGIreg is implementing 8 types of nature-based solutions (NBS).
