Anthropogenic climate change and the intensive use and destruction of natural ecosystems that underpin global biodiversity loss continue to worsen. In this regard, the climate crisis and biodiversity crisis are often viewed as two separate catastrophes. An international team of researchers call for adopting a new perspective
Research conducted by a group of researchers at the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) and the University of Almería, Sean Goodwin (BC3 and the University of Almería), Marta Olazabal (BC3 and Ikerbasque), Antonio J. Castro (University of Almería), and Unai Pascual (BC3 and Ikerbasque), published in Nature Sustainability, identifies critical pathways for making progress on the application of nature-based solutions to climate change adaptation in cities. The study uses data from 216 projects implemented in 130 cities worldwide.
Cities are often claimed to be a core driver of both environmental change and an increasing disconnection of humans from nature. Yet, people connect, relate with, and appreciate nature in more diverse ways than most current policies’ instrumental lens towards nature’s contribution to people’s well-being allows for.
