2 Key City Challenges Nature Nature Based Based Solutions Solutions for Sustainable for Sustainable

3 Nature Based Solutions in -NBS NBS improve livability, health and sense of wellbeing in urban areas NBS helps to reduce Climate Change impacts: heat island effect, building energy consumption, flooding impact,.. NBS increase overall resilience in the cities, increasing the capacity of the city to withstand impacts and stresses NBS increase sense of belonging and increase social cohesion Health and Wellbeing City Resilience Climate Change Social Cohesion Nature Nature Based Based Solutions Solutions for Sustainable for Sustainable

4 A NBS based vision for Madrid Key aspects: Vision for a climate adapted and resilient city trough the integration of nature based solutions to improve livability, social cohesion, health and wellbeing and energy efficiency in the City. The Vision proposed addressed 5 main environmental aspects of concert in the city: Heat waves, drought, flooding, air quality and biodiversity loss. Nature Nature Based Based Solutions Solutions for Sustainable for Sustainable

5 Nature Nature Based Based Solutions Solutions for Sustainable for Sustainable

6 Scope & methodology Identify critical environmental issues in Madrid Define the ecosystem service required Define the nature based solutions able to address each specific impact. Heat island Resource scarcity Air pollution Biodiversity lose Water quality Flood risk Water scarcity Noise Waste Nature Nature Based Based Solutions Solutions for Sustainable for Sustainable

7 Scope & methodology Key Madrid issues Nature Nature Based Based Solutions Solutions for Sustainable for Sustainable

8 The Madrid+Natural Project shares a visión of an urban network of Nature Based Solutions where small scale interventions connect with the large green spaces and natural elements in Madrid. A well developed system of green and blue infrastructure interconnecting open spaces, parks, nature areas, buildings with green roofs and facades jointly contributing to the Climate Change resilience of the city. 12-Urban forests 2-Green roofs 1-Green walls 14-microclimates 4-White roofs 5-Green infrastructure 6-Green streets 9-Urban farming 13-seasonal shading 8-permeable paving 7-River restoration 16-SUDS 15-Temporary flooding 10-adaptive plants Nature Nature Based Based Solutions Solutions for Sustainable for Sustainable
