Promoting nature-based solutions in municipalities in Hungary
Nature-based solutions (NbS) aim to maintain, enhance and restore ecosystems to address
a variety of social, economic and environmental challenges, including climate change
and biodiversity loss. This paper applies the OECD’s framework to provide recommendations
for how to encourage the use of NbS by Hungarian municipalities. It illustrates some
of the key challenges in the local implementation of NbS in Hungary and provides international
examples of how they are tackled in diverse contexts. It also discusses the role of
reforms about the enabling environment to mobilise further public and private investment
in climate adaptation.
