A transformative innovation ecosystem for resilient water management
NBS360 aims to make Nature-Based Solutions truly mainstream across the Mediterranean by connecting science, digital innovation, participatory governance, and sustainable finance.
Why NBS360?
Mediterranean water systems are increasingly exposed to droughts, floods, soil degradation, water pollution, biodiversity loss, and governance fragmentation. NBS360 responds to these interlinked pressures with an integrated 360-degree framework.
The project combines site-specific Nature-Based Solutions with real-time monitoring, hydrological modelling, Digital Twin simulations, an Explainable AI-powered decision support system, stakeholder-driven Decision Theaters, and innovative instruments such as Nexus Credits.
Full Project Title
A Transformative Innovation Ecosystem for Resilient Water Management through Scalable Nature-Based Solutions in the Mediterranean.
