NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE
Journal Title: PEYZAJ - Journal of Education, Science, Culture and Art - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
According to scientific studies, the speed and effects of climate change are increasing day by day. It has gained great importance today to turn to nature, to get help from nature and to produce solutions inspired by the nature to combat with the problems that this change has already created and will create in the future. Both public and private organizations in many parts of the world consider nature-based solutions as an important component for tackling climate change and assume that it can meet an average of 30% of the Earth's climate change mitigation potential. In this study, using the Urban Nature Atlas database, the nature-based solution applications of the European cities of Munich, Malmö and Toulouse together with the Urban GreenUP project of İzmir/Turkey supported by the EU, were investigated.
