Ecosystems, Nature-Based Solutions, Cities, Adaptation, Climate ChangeAbstract
Cities will suffer the impacts of climate change in the next decades. These impacts will be different according to their geographical features, the distribution and number of green spaces, the characteristics of the exterior surfaces of their floors and the density of population, among other aspects.
Given this situation, many cities have begun to adopt adaptation strategies to reduce their vulnerability to the adverse effects of the climate; among which Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) stand out. Cities such as Barcelona and Portland are examples of how to intervene using different strategies with the aim of improving climate regulation, increasing biodiversity, becoming carbon sinks and improving people's quality of life.
The two areas of intervention of the NBSs - green infrastructures and biomimetic solution- have become intervention tools that, in addition to allowing cities to adapt to climate change, can be incorporated into local urban planning regulations through strategies that will also influence the global level.
