Abstract

In an increasingly urbanized world, the concepts of ecosystem services and nature-based solutions can help tackle grand challenges. However, ambiguity in their definitions and in the relationship between the two concepts complicates comprehensive research efforts as well as their effective application in policy and planning in urban systems. This paper presents a framework to clarify and explicitly relate the two concepts, enhancing their applicability in the management of urban challenges. Within the framework, addressing urban challenges serves as the starting point for the development and implementation of nature-based solutions. Nature-based solutions alter the flows of ecosystem services that are produced by an ecosystem by altering the performance of the ecosystem or by changing how people engage with the ecosystem. This results both in changes in the target ecosystem services, as well as non-targeted ecosystem services, leading to benefits. Using two illustrative case studies, we show how the framework can be applied to two urban challenges that are expected to increase in intensity in cities across the world: stormwater management and urban heat stress. Moreover, we highlight key research topics that will benefit from more integrated use of nature-based solutions and ecosystem services. The framework helps emphasize co-benefits, and can be used to help make co-benefits and multifunctionality explicit in urban decision-making and planning processes.

将基于自然的解决方案与城市世纪的生态系统服务相结合
在日益城市化的世界中,生态系统服务和基于自然的解决方案这两个概念有助于应对各种重大挑战。然而,由于这两个概念的定义和关系模糊不清,使得综合研究工作及其在城市系统政策和规划中的有效应用变得更加复杂。本文提出了一个框架来澄清和明确这两个概念之间的关系,从而提高它们在管理城市挑战中的适用性。在该框架内,应对城市挑战是制定和实施基于自然的解决方案的起点。基于自然的解决方案通过改变生态系统的性能或改变人们参与生态系统的方式来改变生态系统所产生的生态系统服务流。这既改变了目标生态系统服务,也改变了非目标生态系统服务,从而产生效益。通过两个说明性案例研究,我们展示了如何将该框架应用于两个城市挑战,预计这两个挑战在全球城市中的强度将会增加:雨水管理和城市热压力。此外,我们还强调了一些关键的研究课题,这些课题将受益于对基于自然的解决方案和生态系统服务的更多综合利用。该框架有助于强调共同效益,并可用于帮助在城市决策和规划过程中明确共同效益和多功能性。

期刊介绍: Ecosystem Services is an international, interdisciplinary journal that is associated with the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP). The journal is dedicated to exploring the science, policy, and practice related to ecosystem services, which are the various ways in which ecosystems contribute to human well-being, both directly and indirectly. Ecosystem Services contributes to the broader goal of ensuring that the benefits of ecosystems are recognized, valued, and sustainably managed for the well-being of current and future generations. The journal serves as a platform for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders to share their findings and insights, fostering collaboration and innovation in the field of ecosystem services.
