This book catalogs the evidence based on the social, economic and environmental effectiveness of Nature based Solutions (NbS) to face environmental challenges and simultaneously provide a better understanding of associated social-ecological interactions.

NbS are reframing discussion and policy responses worldwide to environmental challenges. The concept builds on and complements other closely related concepts, such as the ecosystem approach, ecosystem services, ecosystem-based adaptation/mitigation, disaster risk reduction, sponge cities, and green/blue infrastructures. The quantification of existing NbS' effectiveness, their operationalization and replication in different environmental settings are presented here in such a way that allows them to be both widely accepted and incorporated in policy development and in practical implementation.

Explores the nexus between Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and global SDG, thus leading future research and practice worldwide.
Presents novel conceptualizations, pathways, applications, evidence-based cases, and experiential assessments
Offers best practice portfolios for practitioners (city managers, policy-makers, civil servants, environmental engineers) to guide the practices of NbS towards SDG.

Haozhi Pan integrates regional economics and spatial data science to explore how cities can achieve economic growth and digital smartness. His work also focuses on co-governance goals such as carbon neutrality and citizen participation.Zahra Kalantari has successfully led and carried out interdisciplinary research with focus on understanding of earth and human systems to develop science, technology and innovation solutions to planet’s most pressing environmental challenges associated with the combined effects of changes in climate, land-use and water-use in terrestrial environments.Carla Ferreira’s main research interests include land degradation and restoration, impacts of anthropogenic activities and climate change on land at different scales, nature-based solutions and ecosystem services, and sustainable land-use planning.Cong Cong’s research focuses on using data, computing, and informatic tools to inform more effective decision-making. She explores the intersection of computer science and urban planning and uses large-scale urban modeling, and spatial big data analysis as exploratory techniques.
