NBS360 is a transformative innovation ecosystem designed to mainstream scalable Nature-Based Solutions for climate-resilient water management across the Mediterranean.
The Mediterranean is reaching a crucial point where water security, ecosystem integrity, and social cohesion can no longer be safeguarded through fragmented initiatives.
NBS360 responds with an integrated approach that combines science, digital innovation, participatory governance, and sustainable finance to support the design, implementation, and scaling of Nature-Based Solutions.

NBS360 connects real-time monitoring, Digital Twins, Explainable AI, Decision Theater sessions and innovative financial instruments.
Smart sensors, field surveys, water quality data, hydrological monitoring and performance indicators.
Digital Twins, Physics-Informed Machine Learning, EO data and scenario simulations.
Decision Theater sessions, co-design, stakeholder dialogue and a Community of Practice.
Payments for Ecosystem Services, Nexus Credits, governance pilots and long-term maintenance models.
The demonstration sites cover transboundary basins, agricultural systems, flood-prone catchments, irrigated orchards, coastal wetlands, and rapidly urbanizing watersheds.
Bulgaria / Greece — transboundary water governance.
Italy — climate-resilient silvopastoral systems.
Spain — flood and water quality resilience.
Tunisia — erosion control, irrigation efficiency and coastal resilience.
NBS360 uses a 3S scaling logic: Scaling Out, Scaling Up, and Scaling Deep. This means replication across new contexts, integration into institutions, and long-term cultural acceptance.
