Nature-based solutions are approaches that use nature and natural processes for delivering infrastructure, services, and integrative solutions to meet the rising challenge of urban resilience. Despite the growing demand for nature-based solutions (NBS) in cities to face resilience challenges, many people who make planning, financing, and technical decisions for urban resilience building have little knowledge of when and how to build with nature. It creates a need for better guidance, more real-world examples that illustrate how such approaches have worked, and technical assistance to help support more cities identify potentially viable nature-based investments that help cities address resilience challenges. Thus, this Catalogue of Nature-based Solutions for Urban Resilience was created as a resource for those aiming to shape urban resilience with nature. The document is structured as follows: Chapter 2 describes generic principles for integrating NBS into urban environments. Chapter 3 provides a reader’s guide and holds the Catalogue of the 14 NBS families that include: Urban Forests, Terraces and Slopes, River and Stream Renaturation, Building Solutions, Open Green Spaces, Green Corridors, Urban Farming, Bioretention Areas, Natural Inland Wetlands, Constructed Inland Wetlands, River Floodplains, Mangrove Forests, Salt Marshes, and Sandy Shores.
