This project helped to: develop a set of recommendations and priority actions to ensure the identified NbS can effectively deliver the expected societal and environmental benefits amidst the COVID-19 pandemic; draw key recommendations for the systemisation and scaling-up of these NbS to make them a central part of the policy and recovery agenda in the Mediterranean.Completed
