As a typical coastal city, Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, faces serious societal challenges such as the impact of climate change, overexploitation of natural resources, and loss of biodiversity. Xiamen is implementing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) by strengthening ecological protection, promoting ecosystem restoration, building sponge city, supporting sustainable community development and green transformation of mines, while encouraging funding and diverse public participation.
Historically, droughts have caused extensive damage. Effective responses to drought remain a challenge, with reactive and crisis-oriented approaches dominating many interventions. The consequences of drought extend beyond households and rural livelihoods, impacting industrial operations and sectors such as energy, agriculture and water supply. Integrating Nature-based Solutions (NbS) into drought policies requires a comprehensive, context-aware approach.
Les solutions fondées sur la nature (SfN) sont des actions entreprises pour protéger, gérerdurablement et restaurer les écosystèmesnaturels et modifiés qui bénéficientsimultanément aux personnes et à la nature. Les SfN sont essentielles pour relever desdéfis tels que les changements climatiques, lasécurité alimentaire, la sécurité hydrique, lesrisques de catastrophes, la santé humaine et ledéveloppement social et économique.
Las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza (SbN) son actividades emprendidas para proteger, gestionar de manera sostenible y restaurar los ecosistemas naturales y modificados en beneficio simultáneo de las personas y la naturaleza. Las SbN son fundamentales para abordar desafíos como el cambio climático, la seguridad alimentaria e hídrica, el riesgo de desastres, la salud humana y el desarrollo social y económico.
The main goal of this scoping study is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the national aspect of North Macedonia in regard of pilot activities to apply the Nature-based Solutions (NbS) concept for disaster risk reduction (DRR). The study refers to the available information from existing policies, programmes, and strategies (at the global, regional, national, and local levels). The analysed data are related to NbS for DRR, directly or indirectly.
Montenegro is a disaster-prone country particularly vulnerable to climate change, thus affecting multiple sectors – agriculture, biodiversity, energy, forestry, public health, coastal areas and maritime resources, tourism and water resources. The combination of the rise in frequency and intensity of climate-related hazards, and increasing development in the country raises the risks of these hazards causing substantial economic and health impacts.
