Research from the Norwegian University of Life Science show the benefits of terracing 🔎⛰️🌱
#Terrace farming improves #foodsecurity and increases crop yield 2.5 times by conserving #water and #soil 🌽🚜💧

#GreenCorridors are a multifunctional #NBS 🌳🌦️
Their average #carbonsequestration rate is between 0.5 ± 0.3 tons CO2 per ha per year, depending on the habitat structure and the plants growth rate 🌿🐿️♻️

Rivers and streams #renaturation is an #NBS delivering multiple benefits 🏞️💧
The renaturation of a river in an urban park in Singapore, increased the presence of #biodiversity by 30% 🌿🐿️🐝

PROJECTE | 🌱Ja tenim obertes les portes de l'exposició de @GrowGreenCities : Renaturalitzar la ciutat. Benicalap, laboratori urbà de #SBN.
📅Fins el 2 de febrer pots veure les 11 accions pilot que ajuden #Benicalap a adaptar-se millor al #CanviClimàtic#MissióClimàtica (1de2)
Daylighting covered watercourses creates more space for the river, which in turn increases the storage capacity of the channel and decreases the risk for #floods 🌧️

Research from Athens University shows that when transforming 80–90% of the roofs in a city to #greenroofs, they can reduce the average ambient temperature between 0.3°C and 3°C.

This study investigates the direct, focused on meteorological changes, as well as the indirect, related to both meteorological and #emissions changes, impacts of green roofs on #air quality 🌫️ Learn about the findings here ➡️ https://t.co/yb8lRlHCCz
Green corridors can regulate heat depending on the height and density of the tree canopies 🌳🏘️🌡️
A #treecanopy reduces the #temperature in the shade by 1–5°C compared to an open area, and by 11–17°C compared to a parking lot.

#Water is a key resource for #cities but how can it be managed?
For the GrowGreen Final Conference our partners @BrestFr organised visits to the city's #NatureBasedSolutions for #watermanagent:
🌊preventing floods
🏞️increasing green spaces
🦋enhancing biodiversity
GrowGreen Final conference is about to start! @BrestFr @Oceanopolis_
Come to explore the role of NbS in creating resilience in the face of climate change.
GrowGreen #NatureBasedSolutions interventions have had a positive impact on communities, in terms of #communityintegration & #wellbeing
