NbS-FORESt

Forests play an important role in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and human well-being. This project examines how forests as nature-based solutions can benefit both people and nature.

The Challenge

While forest-based nature-based solutions can deliver multiple benefits, their outcomes are not always well understood. Limited knowledge of potential trade-offs and synergies makes it difficult to design and implement the most effective conservation actions.

 

The Conservation Solution

Nature-based Solutions to Facilitate Opportunities for Restoration, Ecosystems, and Society benefit (NbS-FORESt) is a transdisciplinary research program that evaluates the biodiversity and human well-being outcomes of tree planting, urban forestry, and forest harvest management.

By generating actionable evidence for policy and practice, this research aims to support more effective use of forests as nature-based solutions.
