What are nature-based solutions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Using natural processes to address social and environmental problems
Nature-based solutions protect, restore or manage ecosystems so that they address human challenges while also supporting biodiversity and ecological function. Restored mangroves can reduce coastal wave energy, wetlands can store floodwater and urban vegetation can lower heat. These approaches may be combined with engineered structures, but they are not simply concrete construction or vegetation removal. Therefore A gives the correct broad definition.
