23 July 2023 - Information booklet on nature-based solutions is now available to public

The role of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have now become of particular importance. NbS includes interventions that can simultaneously contribute to sustainable conservation and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity, to sustainable management of a range of social problems and to creation of new economic opportunities. A chance to break our habits - a way to transform our future! 

The aim of this information booklet is to present the concept of NbS, the closely related theoretical and policy background in a brief and comprehensible way, and to provide a common basis and inspiration for the wider application of NbS, mainly through good examples and best practices from the European Union.

With Nature-based Solutions, up to a third of the 2030 climate change mitigation targets could be met, which is why the use of NbS is a priority in the EU's strategy documents for the 2021-2027 EU cycle.

It is important to note that the information booklet is intended as a guide only and does not replace the rules set out in the call for proposals.
