Read Our Blogposts
In our blogpost series, we engage a range of participants from the NATURESCAPES project to write about nature-based solutions, our project activities and ambitions, as well as what it all means for nature and society.
Nature-based solutions heavily feature in debates about biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation, and sustainability. In this research project, we strive to understand how nature-based solutions work together across space and time to create what we call: Naturescapes. Read more here.

Fort-de-France Case: Identifying Naturescapes
Fort-de-France, the capital city of Martinique, is a unique case in the Naturescapes project. This blogpost gives a brief overview of our research in Fort-de-France, and we discuss one way our project goes about identifying the role and boundaries of naturescapes. Read more here.
Disaster Risk Reduction and Coastal Adaptation in Naturescapes
Risk reduction is one of the many ecosystem services provided by natural ecosystems. Understanding risks reduced and enhanced by NBS is key, and it is particularly important in megadiverse countries searching for alternative development pathways supported by their biodiversity wealth.
