"Towards Nature-based Solutions in the Mediterranean": the new booklet of the IUCN

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has just released a new booklet intitled "Towards Nature-based Solutions in the Mediterranean". The purpose of this booklet is to promote Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and help clarify how it can be applied in different types of Mediterranean ecosystems, using 14 examples of interventions proposed by IUCN Members and partners in the region as a part of a collective effort. Each of these practical experiences showcases both the weaknesses and strengths of a model that is still in the process of being consolidated and accepted by a wide community of experts, while IUCN is consolidating the SBN standard foreseen to be approved in the next IUCN World Conservation Congress (Marseille, June 2020).
