This book brings together research findings and experiences from science, policy and practice to highlight and debate the importance of nature-based solutions to climate change in urban areas and their rural surroundings. Emphasis is also given to the potential of nature-based approaches to create multiple-benefits.The expert contributions feed recommendations for creating synergies between ongoing policy processes, scientific programmes and practical implementation of climate change and nature conservation measures in global urban areas.
Introduction.- Section I Scientific evidence for Nature-based solutions to climate change adaptation and mitigation in urban areas.- Section II Practical implementation and needs for a transition towards Nature-based solutions in cities.- Section III Nature-based solutions and social-environmental justice in cities.- Section IV Governance Implications and Economic Viability of Nature-based solutions.- Conclusions.
