This qualitative review examines the role of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in the energy transition, integrating decarbonization, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development. It confirms NbS as a unifying framework and highlights …

Dr. Snehal J. Raikundliya

This study examines the environmental and climatic impacts of the Surjagarh iron ore project in India using secondary data from FSI, ISFR, and other sources. It analyzes land-use change, carbon emissions, forest fragmentation, biodiversity …

S GR

This paper proposes an integrated approach combining carbon neutrality and biodiversity conservation in airport operations. It argues that nature-based solutions like habitat restoration and green buffers create synergies, and emphasizes in…

Zhu, Ziwei, Clements, Hayley, Zhang, Xiaoling

This study quantifies the impact of energy-transition mineral mining on biodiversity, measured as species abundance loss. It decomposes effects into direct conversion, disturbance, and fragmentation, and projects future mining pressure unde…

Tara Op de Beeck, Tom Coppens

This paper advocates for entrepreneurial strategies to scale up nature-based solutions (NbS) from pilot projects to widespread implementation. It argues that business model innovation and policy support are essential for scaling NbS, aiming…

Polar regions are critical for climate regulation and biodiversity, yet are rapidly changing due to climate change. This brief examines how polar ecosystem transformations may affect progress toward Targets 3, 4, and 8 of the Global Biodive…

Stuart Hyde, Renata Karkowska, Szczepan Urjasz

This study analyzes dynamic spillover effects among biodiversity indices, traditional energy assets, and oil/gas prices in the US and Europe using a TVP-VAR model. It finds significant interconnections and shows biodiversity indices can ser…

Xiaojuan Liu, Bingqi Xie, Wei Tu +4

This study evaluates the relative impacts of climate and land-use change on terrestrial vertebrate diversity using a filtering-energy-stress framework. It projects that 68.14% of terrestrial land will experience richness declines by 2100, w…

This study presents a Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis (SMCA) framework for mapping Nature-based Solutions (NbS) opportunities in the Yala Basin, Kenya, integrating biophysical suitability with stakeholder knowledge. Six NbS types were asses…

Emilio Moreno, María Gómez-Pozuelos, Francisco Guerrero +4

This study demonstrates that a semi-natural pond system in a Mediterranean Ramsar wetland effectively reduces nutrients and emerging contaminants, achieving 75% total nitrogen removal and 70-90% removal of certain pharmaceuticals and pestic…

Praveen Kumar Ch

This review synthesizes existing research on blue carbon ecosystems (mangroves, salt marshes, seagrass) in India, outlining mapping methods, monitoring techniques, and sources of uncertainty. It assesses the potential of blue carbon as a cl…

Hasan Tutar

This paper analyzes factors influencing outcomes of coastal nature-based solutions (NBS), particularly mangrove restoration and conservation. It identifies a 'scale mismatch' where national institutional indicators fail to explain local out…

This study integrates system dynamics, PLUS model, and BIOMOD2 to project future human-wildlife conflict in China's drylands. Under SSP5-8.5, conflict-prone areas could nearly double by 2100, with oasis-desert transition zones as hotspots. …

Vu Tuan Anh, Vu Thi Phuong Thao

Using firm-level data from Asian markets (2000-2024), this study finds that biodiversity impact reduction improves ESG scores by about 13.5%, with the strongest effect on the social pillar. Robust to IV and matching methods, the benefits ar…

Sami El Geneidy, Maiju Peura, Viivi-Maija Aumanen +4

This paper proposes a method to compute integrated carbon and biodiversity footprints from organizational activity data, using spatially explicit potential species loss as a biodiversity equivalent. It provides a country-specific dataset an…

Pei-Shan Sonia Lin

This paper explores the role of citizen science in dune stewardship as a nature-based solution (NbS) for coastal disaster risk reduction. It emphasizes stakeholder participation for enhancing social-ecological resilience and suggests NbS as…
