- Nature-based solutions are actions that use ecological processes to address societal challenges. In riverscapes, for example, revitalising floodplains helps to reduce the risks of peak floods in the lower reaches. At the same time, nature-based solutions often provide multiple co-benefits for people and nature, such as promoting the provision of important ecosystem services and contributing to biodiversity conservation. Nature-based solutions are therefore increasingly seen as complementary approaches to technical strategies. This article aims to provide insights into the key practical findings of the PlanSmart research project. PlanSmart investigated and further developed approaches aimed at planning and implementing nature-based solutions in riverscapes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Are you worried about the climate and biodiversity crises and related events like heavy rainfalls and floods, high carbon emissions, sudden heat waves, or loss of species? Are you already doing something to help solve these problems? To reduce flood risks, we can give rivers more space by reconnecting floodplains. To store carbon and help to slow down climate change, we can protect and establish wetlands or mangroves. To make cities cooler in summer, we can plant trees and install rooftop gardens. These efforts to help combat societal problems are known as nature-based solutions. To use nature-based solutions effectively, we need to understand how we can work with nature and the steps we must take to put these ideas into practice. In this article, we introduce you to the concept of nature-based solutions and how they can help solve the climate and biodiversity crises.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over the last two decades, alternative and holistic concepts, such as Nature-based Solutions (NbS) were introduced and adopted by policy-makers, including to the field of flood protection, thereby causing a paradigm shift towards flood risk management. The inclusion of natural water retention measures (NWRM) such as dike relocation and floodplain restoration into the German guidelines for flood protection institutionalized the new concepts in Germany. Whereas small scale NbS and the affected population have already been subject to thorough scientific research, large-scale NbS and the decisionmakers assigned with the measure’s implementation have yet to be studied. How do administrative decision-makers perceive the new approach and measures? Are there particular attitudes among the decision-makers regarding NbS? Which aspects of implementing large-scale NbS influence possible attitudes? Which hurdles do decision-makers concern for the implementation of the new concepts? This paper investigates these questions on the example of dike relocation and floodplain restoration using Q-methodology with administrative decision makers of flood protection authorities in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. The consecutive statistical analysis unveiled three significant viewpoints among the decision-makers. The viewpoints/attitudes were classified as 1. The Convinced, 2. The Concerned and, 3. The Evaluators, defined by varying andindividual concerns on the implementation of dike relocation and floodplain restoration. Hereby, this study delivers insights on large-scale NbS as well as on the issues of their implementation.
