Dear
All,
I am
reaching out to invite you to contribute to The Palgrave Handbook of
Nature-Based Solutions, a Major Reference Work I am leading as Editor in
Chief.
This
Handbook brings together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and thought
leaders to explore cutting-edge insights into the policies, governance models,
and technologies driving the development and implementation of Nature-Based
Solutions (NBS) worldwide.
The
Handbook seeks to consolidate and advance expert knowledge on the application
of NBS to address global challenges, including rapid urbanization, climate
change, natural disasters, and biodiversity loss.
Contributors
will provide perspectives on how NBS can transform societal challenges into
opportunities for sustainable and green growth while delivering multiple
environmental, economic, and social benefits.
Chapter
Scope and Objectives
Chapters
are 10,000 words in length and will comprehensively explore topics such as:
- Sustainable Urbanization: Strategies like
green roofs, urban forests, and green corridors to enhance liveability and
ecosystem services in cities.
- Ecosystem Restoration: Restoration of soils,
forests, freshwater systems, and coastal and marine ecosystems to improve
resilience and biodiversity.
- Ecosystem-Based Mitigation (EbM): Approaches
such as conservation agriculture, sustainable forestry, and marine
conservation to mitigate climate impacts.
- Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA): Adaptation
strategies like agro-biodiversity conservation and water-sensitive forest
management for climate resilience.
- Ecosystem-Based Disaster Risk Reduction
(EDRR): Applications of NBS in reducing disaster risks from floods,
droughts, earthquakes, and landslides.
- Financing NBS: Innovative mechanisms such as
green bonds, blended finance, debt-for-nature swaps, and payments for
ecosystem services.
