Informasjon, veiledning og andre frivillige tiltak

Det finnes også "mykere" virkemidler som kan veilede interessenter i å implementere naturbaserte løsninger på best mulig måte, for eksempel gjennom undervisningsmateriell, informasjon og retningslinjer. Ved å tilby tilgjengelig informasjon og veiledning, kan både profesjonelle aktører og innbyggere bedre forstå de økonomiske, økologiske og sosiale fordelene ved naturbaserte løsninger, samt hvordan de kan integrere disse løsningene i sin egen virksomhet eller hverdag. Å skape bevissthet og engasjement kan føre til langsiktige endringer i atferd og holdninger til bærekraftig utvikling.

Frivillige tiltak kan fremme et bredere engasjement for NBL, uten at det er behov for lovfestede krav. Disse virkemidlene kan omfatte utdanningskampanjer, frivillige sertifiseringssystemer og andre insentiver som motiverer interessenter til å iverksette tiltak som blant annet bidrar til mer robuste samfunn og biologisk mangfold.

Develop guidelines for stakeholder involvement in NBS projects

Guidelines on how to design and conduct good stakeholder involvement in NBS projects can improve and streamline these processes, and that they become a routine in NBS projects in the long-term.

Engage schools and youth in NBS activities

Engaging youth in NBS education and activities has much potential and can benefit the youth, as well as educate them in more sustainable practices which they can apply later in their adult life.

Establish a common NBS resource platform

Gathering knowledge and inspiration can be time-consuming. A common online NBS resource platform can support civil servants, planners and decision-makers when scoping, planning, and implementing NBS.

Guidance and strategies for plant selection in NBS

Providing guidance regarding plant selection in restoration and protection oriented NBS can underpin the protection of local biodiversity and limit spreading of harmful, invasive species.

Including traditional knowledge in nature management

Integrating traditional knowledge when working with NBS can foster sustainable land management, deepen ecological insight, and strengthen biodiversity.

Increase capacity building for key public local actors

Implementing NBS in local strategies and projects calls for capacity building for public workers across several sectors, and can be especially relevant in smaller municipalities with fewer resources.

Involving citizens through community programmes for NBS

Citizen engagement through community-based programmes, citizen science and NBS activities helps spreading awareness, contribute to social learning and gain confidence in NBS actions.

Promote and develop decision-making support tools

Enhancing such tools for NBS helps stakeholders effectively evaluate impacts, costs, and benefits. This can strengthen collaboration, improve decision quality, and build greater confidence in NBS.

Training programs for contractors

Including NBS in education relevant for becoming a contractor, or promoting in-service training on NBS for these professionals, can promote appropriate use and quality of NBS in construction projects
