Nature-Based Solutions along the Gulf: Unpacking Mobile's Naturescapes

Description

Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are increasingly recognized as critical means to address climate change and biodiversity loss simultaneously. While these interventions gain traction among governments, businesses, investors and civil society, we lack an understanding of how these individual interventions add up in urban regions. NATURESCAPES, an European funded transdisciplinary research project involving universities, consultants and NGOs, aims to address this gap by working on the ground in twelve international cities in the European Union, Latin America and the United States of America. NATURESCAPES aims to understand how collections of Nature-based Solutions (NBS) - ''Naturescapes'' - interact and produce unique and potentially transformative outcomes for both nature and society. Working in cities along the Gulf coast including Mobile, Fort-De-France and Cartagena, we are deepening our understanding on how NBS interact and whether the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. During this session, we will zoom in on Naturescapes in Mobile, unpacking how a diverse range of Naturescapes are generating transformative change for the future and the lessons we can learn from them for the wider region.
