Nature-based solutions for water management: insights to assess the contribution to urban resilience

Assessing the Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) contribution to urban resilience, along with developing tools capable of demonstrating their long-term value, comprises a most needed step forward. Nevertheless, the NBS contribution to urban resilience has been yet slightly explored. Given the urban resilience complexity and multiple NBS capabilities, specific needs for a robust assessment should be investigated. This paper identifies the requirements for a comprehensive assessment of the NBS contribution to urban resilience and analyses the main assessment frameworks focused on resilience and NBS for urban drainage.
