Cross-cutting: Education, capacity building and awareness raising
Raising awareness and building knowledge about NBS is crucial for their implementation and can be done in many ways, from children’s education to capacity building among practitioners.
Cross-cutting: Evidence-based and adaptive management
Integrating evidence and systematic use of knowledge into policy development and decision-making for nature can foster resilience in changing environments.
Cross-cutting: Financing and economic incentives for nature-based solutions
Financing NBS requires a strategic and multi-phased approach to ensure long-term success. As NBS often take time to establish and have the envisaged effect, financing mechanisms should consider this.
Cross-cutting: NBS policy integration and cross-sectoral approaches
As multifunctional solutions to the climate and nature crises, NBS need to be mainstreamed across all sectors and policies.
Cross-cutting: Stakeholder engagement and collaboration for nature-based solutions
Stakeholder involvement at all stages of NBS development is important to improve planning and design of NBS, ensure locally adapted NBS and balance multiple interests.
