Local decision-makers hold the key to shaping vibrant cities that prioritize human well-being, resilience, and thriving local economies. However, they grapple with daunting social and environmental hurdles, ranging from climate change and biodiversity loss to issues of environmental justice. To address these challenges effectively, nature-based solutions emerge as a crucial ally.
In this briefing paper, we present actionable examples and inspiration for local decision-makers, illustrating how co-governance approaches foster participatory processes and collaborative creation of nature-based solutions. By fully harnessing the potential of these solutions in design, implementation, and maintenance, cities can achieve remarkable outcomes.
We explore strategies to overcome institutional obstacles surrounding nature-based solutions in decision-making and emphasize the value of co-governance through real-life city experiences. Our goal is to inspire cities worldwide to adopt more inclusive governance approaches, fostering a sustainable urban future for all
