Nature-Based Solutions Nature-based Solutions involve working with nature, as part of nature, to address societal and global challenges like climate change. They also support human well-being and biodiversity locally. They include the protection, restoration or management of natural and semi-natural ecosystems; the sustainable management of aquatic systems and working lands; and integration of nature in and around our cities. They are actions that are underpinned by biodiversity and designed and implemented in a way that respects the rights, values, knowledges and involvement of local communities.
