Nature-based Solutions

Did you know?

Planting trees and creating green spaces can reduce the surrounding temperature by 2-8°C.

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) offer valuable lessons for addressing climate and environmental issues. They help build a sustainable and resilient society by reducing the impact of climate change and improving biodiversity.

In this field, you will learn about various solutions such as the design of stream valleys, biodiversity on embankments, and urban planning to prevent heat stress. These applications demonstrate how NbS can contribute to climate adaptation, biodiversity restoration, and improving livability. Our courses extensively cover the use of nature, with a focus on natural water systems.
