ThinkNature is a project funded under Horizon 2020 and gathering 18 European partners, among which ECTP. It started in December 2016 and will come to an end in November 2019. Its main objective was the development of a multi-stakeholder communication platform that will support the understanding and the promotion of nature-based solutions (NBS) at local, regional, EU and International levels. More information on the project is available directly on the platform: https://platform.think-nature.eu/home

ThinkNature partners have just released their Handbook, which aims at gathering and promoting state-of-the-art knowledge regarding Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), comprising a comprehensive guide to all relevant actors. To this end, each aspect of NBS is investigated, from project development to financing and policy making, and is presented in a concise and comprehensive way, in order to be easily understandable. Regarding the EU agenda around NBS, this Handbook contributes to:

• Expanding the knowledge base about the effectiveness of NBS
• Supporting the implementation of NBS through enhancing their replicability and upscaling
• Utilising the knowledge and experience of stakeholders
• Proposing a comprehensive methodological approach for innovation.

The Handbook is now available on ThinkNature platform here.
