How to Use the Nature-Based Solutions Interactive Table

  1. Browse the table grid to find Nature-Based Solutions (columns) and their relationship to different design factors (rows) - darker cells indicate more resources

  2. Click on any colored cell to access research papers related to that specific combination of solution and guideline (for example, clicking the dark green cell where "Green Roofs" meets "Climate Change + UHI").

  3. White cells indicate no available research data for that particular combination.

  4. Use this resource to explore various nature-based approaches and their impacts across ecological, social, technological, economic, legal, and political dimensions.
