The Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) is a new terminology specifically introduced in order to promote nature to provide solutions to the challenges of mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The concept of NbS is rooted in the relationship between biodiversity and human well-being. Nevertheless, this relationship has been recognized for centuries under the concept of traditional knowledge, which has been the basis of the relationship of Indigenous peoples with their lands and territories. 

NbS intends to establish an explicit link with the pillars of sustainable development, attempting to address the causes and consequences of climate change while supporting biodiversity and ensuring a flow of ecosystem services on which human well-being depends.
