Climate change is already affecting ecosystems across Europe, with consequences for biodiversity, functioning of ecosystems and people. Climate change impacts are often multiplied in urban areas.

The aim of the review was to synthesize current literature which assessed ecosystem services provided by urban nature-based solutions.

Due to climate change and high degree of urbanisation contemporary cities are developing significant environmental problems that can have an array of negative effects on societal well-being.

The database provides open access to knowledge about where, when, and under which circumstances, integrated multi-functional and systemic impacts of NBS can be assessed. 

How to integrate and present the existing knowledge regarding the concepts of NBS and their associated social and cultural values and benefits.

What types of nature-based solutions are particularly relevant in urban contexts?

This report describes the Financial and Economic Value database (FEVD) collected during the first stage of the NATURVATION project.

There is increasing need to quantify urban biodiversity and ecosystem services delivered by urban nature-based solutions.

The NATURVATION Financial and Economic Values Database (FEVD) currently includes 205 values assigned to nature-based solutions from 105 studies.
