Nature-Based Solutions and Nature-Based Thinking
As urban communities face immense environmental challenges, NBS in isolation is not generating traction on its own. Nature-Based Thinking (NBT) is enabling a change in mindset for key stakeholders, shifting from a solutionist approach to a systemic one involving multiple interventions and engagement by partners and NBS. This Learning Unit introduces the concept of NBT, how it involves communities, institutions/organisations and nature/ecological processes to reconceptualise human-nature-organisational relationships. It challenges learners to reflect on how communities can relate in new ways to nature, new modes of governing and taking long-term, sustainable management of NBS.
