Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are natural processes, developed or modified, to address human-based environmental issues such as managing storm water runoff with rain gardens. By integrating NbS into existing infrastructure, enhancing collaboration, fostering public-private partnerships, and engaging communities, NbS can produce transformative policy changes.
