The NBS URBAN project seeks to integrate nature into urban planning, reinforcing the use of ecosystems and nature together with existing infrastructures in order to locally adapt to climate change in the Basque Country region, using for such purpose a map for their identification and deployment.

The Map of the potential of Natural Solutions provides local administrations with a clear, coherent and easily reproducible methodological sequence that allows them to identify and map both the existing natural solutions and the potential for their development to adapt to climate change.

The Map of the potential of Natural Solutions has been implemented as a pilot in the Municipality of San Sebastián, in the context of its Local Adaptation Plan.
