Engage with Nature-Based Solutions

Landscapes are often described by the way they look and how these visuals make us feel. However, we rarely describe these places through how they sound.  EXPLORE the StoryMap: arcg.is/1HzjCv2 #naturebasedsolutions #mapping #sound #landscape #yyj

Science needs art. Art can inspire, educate, encourage self-reflection, and build community cohesion. Artists are integral in the conversation about climate and nature-based solutions. engagewithNBS.ca/art #naturebasedsolutions #climateartinaction #climateart

Communities can use nature-based solutions. #Naturebasedsolutions support the resiliency of our #climate, environment, and human society. They increase climate-resilient natural capital (such as wetlands and forests) and provide ecosystem services (such as water filtration).

Nature-based solutions work. Nature-based solutions support the health of natural systems, while addressing society challenges. The design of these solutions are based on our planet's natural systems, working with, and for, nature. #NatureBasedSolutions #climateaction

Natural solutions work. Natural systems — such as wetlands, estuaries, forests, and prairie — provide immense benefits to people and nature. They clean water, absorb floods, cool the climate, and remove carbon from the atmosphere. #NatureBasedSolutions #climateaction
