NBS EduWORLD State of the Art Report

This report aims to provide an overview and detailed analysis of the state of the art in nature-based solutions (NBS) education across the European region and at different education levels. Based on desk research and interviews, it highlights the gaps and opportunities in NBS education. It finds that NBS is a great practical tool and opportunity for teaching learning for sustainability and sustainability competences, but that NBS often is not included in the Learning for Sustainability (LfS) agenda explicitly and particularly at the level of vocational education and training, and in coastal and rural communities. The current State of the Art report highlights good practice examples across Europe that primarily focus on urban regeneration and green space management, and not a larger diversity of NBS.

Piloting and Assessment of Stepping Stones and Education Journeys

This work builds on earlier efforts in architecture and the evaluation of Nature-based Solutions (NBS) in education to advance institutional leadership through capacity-building initiatives. A comprehensive set of innovative guidance materials are developed, which aim at embedding NBS thinking within strategic and operational practices across higher education and industry. Central to this effort is the co-creation and delivery of interactive workshops designed to establish baseline knowledge, stimulate peer learning, and facilitate knowledge exchange among partners and stakeholders. As a key output, the project involved the design, testing and implementation of 50 modular Learning Units, structured to support both formal accreditation and informal learning. These units cover foundational to advanced concepts and are mapped as 'stepping stones' within a sequential learning framework. The resulting output of this report offers a scalable, adaptable resource to embed NBS literacy into educational ecosystems and workforce development strategies along with exploring the stepping stones of education journeys involving NBS.
