Human-induced climate impacts and biodiversity loss severely impact ecosystems and communities globally.
Holistically designed nature-based solutions (NBS) offer cost-effective, multifunctional measures safeguarding biodiversity, enhancing water cycle sustainability and promoting well-being. However, understanding of factors influencing NBS multifunctionality remains limited.
Existing services prioritize sector-specific products/outcomes, hindering the advancement of transdisciplinary NBS approaches. NBSPLUS aims to overcome these limitations, introducing the concept of NBS Services.
It provides user-oriented knowledge, methods, and decision aids to facilitate informed planning, addressing societal risks and potential trade-offs of current/future NBS.
Leveraging diverse expertise within the Swedish consortium, from governance processes to participatory modeling approaches and climate/water services, new solutions are developed and tested in three use-cases on two continents, demonstrating applicability across land-use types and decision frameworks.
NBSPLUS explores how social-economic, ecological (using novel bioindicators), and governance contexts collectively shape NBS design and performance.
Through co-production of novel design events and integration into existing impact models, NBSPLUS stress-tests NBS efficacy.
Additionally, a scalable, integrated model for NBS evaluation is co-produced, culminating in a comprehensive design guide for NBS planning and management.
