2 Contextualizing the Nature-Based Solution
Nature-Based Solution (NbS) aims to adhere to nature as a strategic resource,
enabling its inclusion in demands arising from gray infrastructure (MEA 2005).
The NbS show the processes that support its inspiration and/or imitation, and may
involve both the conservation concomitant with the rehabilitation of a modified or
artificial ecosystem and adhering to macro or micro proportions in the environment
(UNESCO 2018).
Environmental, social and economic challenges are related to NbS, improving
existing solutions, in the sense of imitating inferior organisms, using resources from
nature and excluding methods that can genetically alter nature. In the same way as
your concept according to the European Commission:
It is based on and supports other closely related concepts, such as ecosystem approach,
ecosystem services, adaptation/mitigation based on ecosystems and blue infrastructure. They
all recognize the importance of nature and demand a systemic approach. Approach to environmental change based on understanding the structure and functioning of ecosystems,
including human actions and their consequences. (EC 2015, p. 24)
In this sense, NbS works with other concepts, articulating its implementation in favor
of ecological and social sustainability, with a focus on the benefits for individuals
and their environment in addition to striving for human well-being, they excel in the
zeal of natural capital, if appropriating the complex processes of the system itself, in
order to achieve beneficial results of a social and environmental nature. Thus, NbS
adheres to complex nature services and can be classified as environmental/ecosystem
services. (Lafortezza et al. 2018; EC 2015).
According to Resolution 069 on the definition of nature-based solutions (2016)
recognizing its genesis in the negotiation of the United Nations Climate Changes
(UNFCCC) in 2009 and considering a milestone for IUCN—International Union for
Conservation of Nature, it is culminated in definition of NbS as “actions to protect,
sustainably manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems, which address
society’s challenges effectively and adaptively, while providing human well-being
and benefits for biodiversity (IUCN 2018, p. 0.1).
This Resolution still establishes the general objective of the NbS:
Support the development of society and safeguard human well-being in a way that reflects
cultural and social values and reinforce the resilience of ecosystems, their capacity for
renewal and the provision of services; Nature-based solutions are designed to address major
social challenges, such as security, climate change, water security, human health, disaster
risk, development. (IUCN 2018, p. 2)
Actors such as governments, organizations and academies are looking for work to
find alternatives that can mitigate the environmental, economic and social challenges
