Summary

The NATURA network is a collective initiative of over 47 international partners, established in 2019 under U.S. National Science Foundation support. This transdisciplinary organization drives collaboration on urban nature-based solutions to enhance urban resilience within the Anthropocene era. By promoting knowledge exchange, NATURA helps research and practitioners refine their strategies to effectively design and implement NbS in complex, diverse urban environments. This collaborative framework aims to bridge academic theory with practical applications in sustainable city development. Ultimately, the effort seeks to build a future where natural assets are utilized to strengthen social systems in challenging environments. The mission centers on advancing NbS that are both ecologically sustainable and socially equitable, ensuring that cities remain adaptable and thriving in today's climate change landscape. Through this structured partnership, researchers and practitioners can explore novel technologies and conservation practices that foster long-term community well-being.
