Nature-Positive Urban Development: Leveraging Green Solutions for Sustainable and Resilient Cities
<p>Nature-based solutions, such as green roofs, community gardens, renaturalized brownfields, and urban agriculture, offer a cost-effective and sustainable approach to urban development. These solutions leverage ecosystem services to counter climate risks, contribute to global climate goals, and protect vulnerable populations. They also provide co-benefits such as improved health, food and water security, cleaner air, and reduced risks from extreme heat and flooding. As we move towards a future where an estimated 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, implementing these nature-based solutions becomes increasingly vital.</p>
