Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are “actions to protect, sustainably manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits”.

World Conservation Congress (WCC 2016-Res-069-EN)

nature-based solutions address:

• human health and wellbeing (wellness)

• food systems

• social equity and inclusion

• climate change and biodiversity loss

• environmental quality (air, water, soil)

• disaster risk

We are continuous with earth in all the particles of our physical being, as in our breathing we are continuous with the sky.

Rise.Health Solutions works with partners to identify ways in which Nature-based Solutions can mitigate existing and emerging human, environmental and climate risks. This involves a range of Citizen Science initiatives, technology platforms, and measurement approaches, each customized to fit local circumstances.

Rise.Health Solutions collaborates with partners to define global standards for Nature-based Solutions.

Every country has its own landscape which deposits itself in layers in the consciousness of its citizens.
