Nature-based solutions (NbS*) are responses to societal challenges that involve working with nature to deliver benefits for both people and biodiversity. They include protecting existing ecosystems, restoring degraded ecosystems and managing working lands more sustainably. NbS are of national strategic importance in supporting the UK's net zero climate targets and the Government's ambition to improve the environment within a generation. They have gained international significance too: 131 countries include NbS in their UNFCCC climate change pledges. If well designed and robustly implemented, NbS will deliver multiple benefits for climate change mitigation and adaptation, enhance biodiversity, promote human wellbeing and support economic recovery. The challenge is that the implementation of NbS is often piecemeal, narrow in focus, and undermined by weak research/policy/practice connections. UCam-Regen will redress this problem by applying its breadth of expertise in a practically driven analysis that provides the knowledge and tools needed to address several challenges facing the delivery of NbS:NbS can contribute significantly to achieving net zero emissions, although the extent of that contribution is limited by the finite amount of land available and critically by the effects of climate change on ecosystems. NbS are not an alternative to decarbonising the economy and must be accompanied by swift, deep emissions cuts; they must be designed with and for local communities; and they must deliver measurable benefits for biodiversity and be designed to be resilient to climate change i.e. a 'whole systems approach' must be applied - as in UCam-Regen - that integrates economies, societies, and nature. Scaling up, restoration and protection of key ecosystems across UK landscapes requires (a) better protection of natural habitats in the planning system; (b) reforming agriculture and forestry subsidies to better support actions that benefit both climate regulation and biodiversity; (c) connecting habitats across landscapes, building on the emerging Nature Recovery Networks; (d) making it compulsory to build an NbS framework into all new developments, and (e) making space on land for natural systems to adapt to climate change. There is a need to develop robust metrics to assess the effectiveness of a wide range of NbS for carbon sequestration, water regulation, biodiversity and human wellbeing. Well-designed new financing mechanisms, including tax incentives and public subsidies for ecosystem stewardship that meet the NbS guidelines and support climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation and biodiversity, could be instrumental for upscaling NbS and improving social-ecological resilience to climate change, both in the UK and globally. UCam-Regen addresses these challenges by applying a whole systems approach to deliver knowledge and tools necessary to regenerate UK landscapes using NbS approaches. At the heart of the proposal is a recognition that local communities must be engaged with decisions regarding their landscape's future and co-produce solutions, informed by scientific assessments of the optimal landscape management approaches to maximise the delivery of ecosystem services.*We take policy recommendation and definitions from a COP26 Universities Network Briefing led by Prof Coomes https://www.gla.ac.uk/media/Media_790171_smxx.pdf

基于自然的解决方案（NBS*）是对社会挑战的回应，涉及与自然合作为人和生物多样性带来利益。其中包括保护现有的生态系统，恢复降级的生态系统以及更可持续的工作土地。 NBS在支持英国净零气候目标以及政府在一代人中改善环境的野心具有国家战略重要性。他们也获得了国际意义：131个国家包括NBS的气候变化承诺。如果设计良好且实施良好，NBS将为气候变化和适应，增强生物多样性，促进人类福祉并支持经济复苏。面临的挑战是，NBS的实施通常是零散的，重点范围狭窄，并且因弱研究/政策/实践联系而破坏。 UCAM-REGEN将通过在实际驱动的分析中运用其广泛的专业知识来解决这个问题，该分析提供了所需的知识和工具，以应对NBS提供的几个挑战所需的知识和工具：NBS可以为实现该贡献的范围实现净零排放量有很大贡献，尽管该贡献的程度受到有限的土地限制，并受到了气候变化的效果的有限范围，并且批准了对环境系统的影响。 NBS不能替代脱碳，必须伴随着迅速的，深厚的排放量；它们必须与当地社区一起设计；他们必须为生物多样性带来可衡量的好处，并设计为对气候变化的弹性，即必须应用“整体系统方法”（如UCAM -Regen中），以整合经济，社会和自然。扩大，对整个英国景观的关键生态系统的恢复和保护需要（a）更好地保护计划系统中的自然栖息地； （b）改革农业和林业补贴，以更好地支持有利于气候调节和生物多样性的行动； （c）在新兴自然恢复网络上建立跨风景的栖息地； （d）使其必须在所有新开发项目中建立NBS框架，并（e）在土地上为自然系统腾出空间以适应气候变化。有必要开发强大的指标来评估广泛的NBS在碳固存，水调节，生物多样性和人类福祉方面的有效性。精心设计的新融资机制，包括税收激励措施和生态系统管理的公共补贴，符合NBS指南并支持缓解气候变化，气候变化适应和生物多样性，可能对提高NBS的升级NBS和在英国和全球范围内提高社会生态环境变化，这对改善了社会生态环境有用。 UCAM-REGEN通过采用整个系统方法来解决使用NBS方法再生英国景观所需的知识和工具来解决这些挑战。该提案的核心是认识到，当地社区必须参与有关其景观未来和共同生产解决方案的决定，这是对最佳景观管理方法的科学评估，以最大程度地提高生态系统服务的交付。 https://www.gla.ac.uk/media/media_790171_smxx.pdf
