Climate Change Adaptation Nature Nature Based Solutions Infographic

Nature-Based Solutions will be crucial tools for our communities to mitigate climate change, adapt to climate change and to bring nature back into our towns and cities. These Nature-Based Solutions infographics respond to key challenges faced by professionals in the industry and outline some steps forward for successful NBS implementation.

Acknowledging that many nature practitioners are facing similar challenges, UKGBC’s NBS Labs were designed for learning and peer-to-peer knowledge exchange, specifically around maintenance and stewardship of nature-based solutions, as well as existing buildings and retrofit. We heard from a range of speakers about the challenges faced, lessons learnt, and solutions they had whilst implementing urban NBS.

In order to share some of the challenges, recommendations, and considerations practitioners should take when implementing NBS into an urban environment, we’ve created two infographics that share these key learnings.

The first explores the challenges and key considerations for retrofitting NBS and the second considers maintenance and stewardship of existing solutions.
