Nature-based Solutions for advancing on urban sustainability​

All cities, Athens, Milan, Logroño, Gdynia and Lillestrøm, are dealing with the above-mentioned questions as NbS deployment at urban scale can be challenging despite their benefits. Climate Impact diagrams allow the analysis of climate change risks while developing a share understanding on the sustainability opportunities for different city sectors. As the built environment often presence a dense structure, an opportunity mapping may help to identify potential locations for greening. The adaptation pathway approach allows the benchmark of different adaptation pathway alternatives based on their effectiveness and co-benefits (social-cohesion, biodiversity increase, water quality etc.) and allows to build a general greening strategy. On the other hand, CRCT provides insight at project level on the best solution design for flooding and heat risks management.​
