Among a wide range of NbS approaches, Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) is one of the famous and tried approaches that have been developed and implemented in several countries to date, offering lessons to be learnt for developing innovative NbS-PES ‘systems’ which are beyond the typical market approach and related policy settings, particularly to benefit Indigenous perspectives. To develop such Indigenous-specific PES or more appropriately incentivising schemes for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), we analyse and draw lessons from three famous PES schemes from Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) from New South Wales (NSW), Australia. We examine their operational policy infrastructure and mechanisms for governing, monitoring, and payments/incentives for Ecosystem Services (ES). One common feature of the selected schemes is the pivotal role of national (Costa Rica and Mexico) and state (NSW) governments in developing specific legislation and regulatory guidelines to mediate these programmes, establish a national/state fund and authority to monitor the contracted conservation sites—offering a standardised and credible arrangement for ES providers and beneficiaries while reducing transactional costs for all parties. Other key learnings include applying a simple, input-based approach and paying land managers on a per-hectare basis for ES as a bundle, using simple indicators such as the state of the forest/ecosystem as a proxy for ES—offering insights for developing nature-based markets for Indigenous peoples in Australia and IPLCs globally. While planning Indigenous-specific schemes, we emphasise that it is critical to consider sociocultural and economic settings in which locals operate to develop equitable and sustainable mechanisms, given that many IPLCs’ value systems are societal and their relationships with nature often lie outside the typical market regimes. Applying IPLCs’ perspectives, we explore a Common Assets Trust model at a state/national scale as an alternative to the market approaches that can afford a common platform for stakeholders to exchange, govern, and monitor ES while also promoting the development of equitable, sustainable, and culturally appropriate incentivizing mechanisms involving low transactional and monitoring costs for IPLCs globally.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100945,"journal":{"name":"Nature-Based Solutions","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144662490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we conducted an online survey of 10,000 residents in Japan using photographs of 160 species to determine their aesthetic preferences for wildflowers. Participants with abundant nature experience, i.e., those with old age and high plant identification knowledge scores, preferred a floral trait group with complex traits (bilateral, deep floral tubes/spurs, and downward flower orientation) as well as rare species, whereas participants with limited nature experience preferred flowers with prototypical traits (upward-facing, radial capitulum). With the increase in plant identification knowledge, preference for native or exotic species increased or decreased, respectively. In addition to the previously-noted general innate preferences common to humans across different personal backgrounds, nature experience played an important role in determining floral preferences. This finding suggests that ecosystems with high floral diversity are important to support cultural ecosystem services for humans with diverse preferences. Moreover, our finding that preference for healthy ecosystems containing complex, rare, and native flowers increases through nature experiences suggests a positive feedback loop consisting of nature experience, preference, well-being, and conservation motivation. The loss of opportunities for humans to connect with nature could break this positive feedback loop and accelerate the deterioration of nature. In conclusion, creating opportunities for contact with nature that take human preferences into account could provide a breakthrough for ensuring sustainable nature-based solutions that benefit both societal well-being and natural environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100945,"journal":{"name":"Nature-Based Solutions","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144597486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is true in the culturally diverse region of <em>Te Moananui</em> Oceania (the island nations of the Pacific), where relationships to nature and cultural worldviews are unique. The region is where many nations most impacted by climate change are located.

This design-led research methodology was used to both understand how people were already thinking about and implementing NbS in relation to the range of Indigenous knowledge in the region as a means to adapt to climate change. The competition was also a means to capture and exhibit the collective imagination regarding climate futures in an inclusive, enabling, and impactful way.

Moreover, it highlights the significance of integrating ecological, economic, and social dimensions, tailoring interventions to local needs, and utilizing rigorous evaluation methodologies to ensure the effectiveness and long-term contribution of NbS in fostering resilient urban environments to the climate change impacts. Though the scope of this review was constrained by various factors like language and database, it identified significant research gaps, including limited geographical case studies, reliance on secondary data and sources, methodological inconsistencies, lack of standardized approaches, and inadequate understanding of the complex functions of NbS in urban climate resilience. For instance, of the 26 qualitative sample publications selected for this systematic review, almost 54 % employed only secondary data sources, and eight publications lacked clear and specified data analysis techniques.
