As interventions that promise to simultaneously address multiple goals and to provide a wide range of environmental, economic and social benefits, nature-based solutions offer significant promise as responses to sustainability challenges that resonate at a local level whilst also addressing global issues. They are also seen to have the potential to offer a transformative approach for meeting sustainability challenges, through delivering processes such that sustainable communities are designed, strategies formulated and initiatives implemented which are inclusive and where their outcomes are transformative not only in environmental terms but also account for issues of social justice.
