Nature-based Solutions Catalogue : An elaboration of 10 NbS categories in the Dutch situation

Summary

This catalogue describes ten categories of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in the Dutch situation. Dividing up NbS into categories helps us to gain a better understanding of the solutions that already exist, how and where they are most
effective and which societal challenges they can contribute to. The aim of this catalogue is to provide an overview of NbS that can be used for climate mitigation and adaptation, realizing biodiversity gains and improving human
health and the living environment.
This catalogue, the categories, the societal contributions and the key considerations for implementation have been created and analysed from the Dutch perspective. The catalogue and the results described in it are therefore
not applicable to other countries due to the existence of other challenges and spatial characteristics in different international contexts. A context other than the Netherlands can lead to other categories of NbS, societal contributions and key considerations.
