“Possible ways to foster the uptake of knowledge on Nature-based Solutions”

Drawing on recent initiatives and Biodiversa-funded projects, the report focuses on three pivotal processes that underpin the uptake of NbS knowledge into policy, practice, and decision-making:

  1. Establishing a shared understanding of what NbS are (taxonomy and definitions) and how their benefits and co-benefits can be measured (indicators, monitoring);
  2. Disseminating NbS knowledge, either by sharing research findings through multiple channels, or by virtual sources of knowledge;
  3. Fostering cooperation through the exchange of experiences, stakeholder engagement, and training programs for researchers and practitioners to enhance their skills in the realm of NbS.

A fourth section is dedicated to examining success stories from Biodiversa-funded projects.

The report is particularly aimed at

  1. Stakeholders: Policy makers, planners, and citizens seeking accessible NbS knowledge.
  2. Experts and Contributors: Scientists, NbS-specialised companies, and planners aiming to amplify their impact within the NbS community and in the policy and practice world.
