Report

NBS EduWORLD Policy Recommendations

This report presents key insights, lessons, and actionable policy recommendations for integrating Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) into education and training systems across the European Union. It builds on 3 years of research, experimentation, and stakeholder engagement under the NBS EduWORLD project, drawing from the experiences of 15 partners working across (NBS) educational levels and European contexts. The report addresses existing gaps in policy, practice, and institutional coordination. Structured around governance levels (EU, national, municipal/local) and cross-sectoral policy domains (e.g., health, business, tourism), the report outlines how NBS education can be mainstreamed through existing frameworks and adapted to local realities. A focus is placed on enabling conditions, such as funding, teacher support, policy alignment, and community partnerships, that can drive systemic change. The recommendations are intended for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders working at the intersection of education, environment, urban planning, and social policy.
