Developing Nature-Based Solutions in Wales
Conclusions Nature based solutions (NBS) have the potential to make an important contribution to Wales’ response to the nature and climate crises. However, we need a clearer understanding of the kind of interventions that might be described as NBS and the kind of ‘problems’ they have the potential to resolve. Nature is complex and so too is any attempt to resolve issues through NBS. Therefore, more research, including learning from current practice, is necessary to help develop this agenda in the future. It will also be necessary to develop a skilled workforce to deliver NBS on the ground. Above all, we need a strategic, long-term plan for the development of NBS in Wales, that includes identification of funding streams for this work.
