LU Profile Area: Nature-based future solutions

The profile area focuses on ecosystem-based approaches to handle biodiversity loss and climate change, and how the intertwined crises can be linked to sustainable societal development.

For nature-based solutions to be accepted and adopted – leading to social and political change – they need perspectives that can identify synergies, address equity issues, and consider historical and contemporary conflicts. The solutions should contribute to more biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and support people and societies in their choices to live in more climate-adapted ways without overexploiting natural resources.

Nature-based future solutions is one of five profile areas at Lund University.
