This open access book brings together research findings and
experiences from science, policy and practice to highlight and
debate the importance of nature-based solutions to climate change
adaptation in urban areas. Emphasis is given to the potential of
nature-based approaches to create multiple-benefits for society.
The expert contributions present recommendations for creating
synergies between ongoing policy processes, scientific programmes
and practical implementation of climate change and nature
conservation measures in global urban areas. Except where otherwise

This open access book identifies and discusses biodiversity's
contribution to physical, mental and spiritual health and
wellbeing. Furthermore, the book identifies the implications of
this relationship for nature conservation, public health, landscape
architecture and urban planning - and considers the opportunities
of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation. This
transdisciplinary book will attract a wide audience interested in
biodiversity, ecology, resource management, public health,
psychology, urban planning, and landscape architecture. The
emphasis is on multiple human health benefits from biodiversity -
in particular with respect to the increasing challenge of climate
change. This makes the book unique to other books that focus either
on biodiversity and physical health or natural environments and
mental wellbeing. The book is written as a definitive 'go-to' book
for those who are new to the field of biodiversity and health.
