Nature-based solutions provide benefits to both nature and people, simultaneously addressing the issues of climate change and biodiversity loss. The Department of the Interior (DOI) manages more than 480 million acres of natural and working lands in the United States, presenting a significant opportunity to leverage nature-based solutions to contribute to greenhouse gas reduction targets, equitably build ecosystem and community resilience, and deliver additional co-benefits for ecosystems and people. This project created a DOI Nature-based Solutions Roadmap document to provide consistent and accessible information about the broad range of nature-based strategies. The DOI Nature-based Solutions Roadmap includes...

Nature-based solutions (NBS) are actions that incorporate natural features and processes to protect, conserve, restore, sustainably use, and manage natural or modified ecosystems to address socioenvironmental challenges while providing measurable cobenefits to both people and nature. They have great potential to enhance human well-being, improve ecosystem health, and support positive social and economic outcomes. Nature-based solutions are in-creasingly used to reduce climate risks including coastal and inland flooding, drought, wildfire, and urban heat. While many NBS strategies, such as refor-estation and wetland creation, have been in use for a long time, recognition of these projects and opportunities for new...
