| Title |
Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation |
| Description |
In the face of the climate and biodiversity crises, Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) appear as a possible path to address both challenges synergistically. NBSs encompass a broad set of approaches (such as ecosystem conservation and restoration, agroecology, urban green and blue infrastructures, etc) that generally strive to work with Nature rather than against it toward sustainable development. However, the potential contribution of NBSs to climate change mitigation and adaptation is still uncertain and highly debated. Should NBSs be a central element in a road map toward climate-neutrality or are they a distraction from more urgent measures to decarbonize human activities? Beyond the carbon perspective, are NBSs helping human communities become more resilient to climate change impacts?
In this course, lectures providing the general context of this field will be complemented by group projects to explore these questions in more details. The goal of the group projects will be to assess the scientific-evidence around the effectiveness of specific NBSs, going from local case studies to the overall potentials and risks of upscaling these solutions at larger scales. |
