Nature-Based Solutions Library
Turning Knowledge into Action
The LandShift Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) Library is an open-access digital platform showcasing implemented nature-based solutions across Europe.
Developed within the LandShift project by the Metabolic Institute, the Library supports regions, policymakers, and practitioners in identifying concrete interventions for climate-resilient land-use planning.
It bridges the gap between climate ambition and practical implementation.
What you will find in the Library
The Library is a practical exploration tool, not a list of academic references.
Each case is organised so users can quickly search by:
-
Ecosystem type
-
Land-use challenge
-
NbS approach
This makes it easier to identify solutions that match specific territorial needs and planning priorities.
What makes it different
Many NbS platforms exist. The LandShift NbS Library stands out by offering:
-
Implemented cases, not only conceptual approaches or early-stage pilots
-
European relevance, supporting transferability to EU planning contexts
-
Structured curation, allowing targeted filtering by ecosystem, challenge, and approach
Future editions will also integrate the principles of the New European Bauhaus (NEB), strengthening links between environmental performance, social inclusion, and aesthetic quality.
Who can use it
The Library is open to:
-
Regional authorities and planners developing strategies
-
Local stakeholders supporting participatory discussions
-
Practitioners, NGOs, researchers, and community groups looking for credible, documented examples for climate-resilient and biodiversity-friendly land management
The Library is designed to evolve over time, remaining responsive to Living Space needs and wider stakeholder feedback.
