Making the Case for Nature-Based Solutions
The N-EWN Knowledge Series
A Continuing Education Series about Engineering with Nature
We all rely on services provided by nature, often in ways we don’t fully recognize. Earth Economics identifies and quantifies those benefits to ensure they are included in the decision-making process at all levels, so communities can mitigate risk, increase resilience, and protect their natural capital wealth.
Awareness of the co-benefits associated with nature-based solutions and standardized methods to incorporate them into decision-making are limited. As a result, nature-based solutions are not appropriately considered, which may result in inefficient decision making. This can threaten existing natural resources and their life-sustaining services, which effectively lower the quality of life within communities. This presentation will provide real-world examples of how ecosystem services (co-benefits of NBS) have been integrated into existing frameworks and storytelling to support efforts that enhance community adaptability and well-being.
