Nature’s ecosystems are essential for our health and wellbeing and economic activity. Working with nature is also critical to address the causes and effects of climate change. Net zero, climate resilience, environmental degradation, flooding and food security are some of today’s big issues. Adopting an integrated approach to natural and built environments, and maximising benefits arising from living in cleaner, greener, biodiversity-rich environments, can help solve them. Nature-based solutions are interventions that work with nature to sequester carbon, enhance biodiversity and improve resilience to the effects of extreme weather – ranging from flooding to extreme heat. Done the right way and in the right place, they can also produce a range of economic, environmental and social benefits.
