See the vital role of nature based solutions to create a more equitable economy valuing nature at its core
Nature based solutions pose a timely potential to create jobs in the local economy both in technical areas and entry level work. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, lies a key opportunity to recover in a way that brings nature more centrally into our economies and our societies.
A new report is now available, “The vital role of nature-based solutions in a nature positive economy”, outlining expert knowledge on the role of nature based solutions to create a shift in the way that nature is valued in terms of its contributions to society.
Released by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (European Commission), this report is a first step in addressing knowledge gaps in the potential economic benefits of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and the challenges facing NatureBased Enterprises (NBE), or enterprises which “support cities, private sector and third sector organisations in the planning, delivery and management or stewardship of nature-based solutions in urban, peri-urban and rural contexts”.
