Nature-Based Solutions: Viable AquaMinds: Alternatives for Improving Water Management and Climate Change Adaptation Nature-Based Solutions: Viable AquaMinds: Alternatives for Improving Water Management and Climate Change Adaptation ===================================================================================================================== - Challenged-based approach - Research & Innovation - Civic engagement - Participatory research - Climate, environment and energy - Open Labs - Report - Guide - Students - Academics - Researchers - Administrators - Civil society - Policy makers This guide from the AcquaMinds CIVIS Open Lab presents nature-based solutions as practical approaches to improving urban water management and climate change adaptation. It explores green-blue infrastructure, ecosystem-based approaches and examples from cities across Europe and beyond, highlighting their contribution to urban resilience, biodiversity and quality of life. This [guide](https://civis.eu/storage/files/acquaminddelivrable-6a.pdf) presents a scientific and practice-oriented overview of nature-based solutions as viable instruments for improving urban water management and climate change adaptation. It explains the green-blue infrastructure concept, the ecological processes underpinning nature-based solutions, their principles, benefits and main implementation categories. Examples from buildings, public spaces, aquatic ecosystems and sustainable drainage systems illustrate applications such as green roofs and walls, permeable surfaces, river restoration, multifunctional gardens and urban regeneration. Case studies from Madrid, Boston, Munich, Seoul, Dresden, Leipzig, Brussels and Cluj-Napoca demonstrate how these approaches can strengthen water regulation, biodiversity, urban resilience and quality of life. The deliverable also identifies enabling conditions and implementation risks, emphasizing context-sensitive design, long-term resources, qualified personnel, collaborative planning, public participation and social inclusion. Key words: Nature-Based Solutions, Green-Blue Infrastructure, Urban Adaptation [Download the Nature-Based Solutions guide](https://civis.eu/storage/files/acquaminddelivrable-6a.pdf) [DOWNLOAD THE PRESENTATION IN ROMANIAN](https://civis.eu/storage/files/presentation-acquaminddelivrable-6a-civis-compressed.pdf) Other resources --------------- - ### CIVIS Connect Webinar Series 30 septembre 2026 - Challenged-based approach - Research & Innovation - Civic engagement - Participatory research - Report - Academics - Researchers - Civil society - Policy makers [ See more ](https://civis.eu/fr/resources/civis-connect-webinar-series "CIVIS Connect Webinar Series") - ### Bringing Generations Together: A Community Toolkit for Designing International Programs 30 septembre 2026 - Challenged-based approach - Research & Innovation - Inclusion & Diversity - Civic engagement - Community of Practice - Open Labs - Toolbox - Students - Academics - Researchers - Administrators - Civil society [ See more ](https://civis.eu/fr/resources/bringing-generations-together-a-community-toolkit-for-designing-international-programs "Bringing Generations Together: A Community Toolkit for Designing International Programs") ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
