According to this EEA report nature-based solutions are increasingly integrated into global and EU policy frameworks, thus the new EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 includes a nature restoration plan among its objectives.
Options for nature-based solutions and their benefits, as well as their possible trade-offs and limitations for relevant sectors in Europe (water, forests and forestry, agriculture, urban and coastal areas) are discussed. It concludes that the nature-based solutions approach to climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction is a valid and effective socio-economic option for these sectors, increasing resilience to climate change while providing many social benefits.
