Purpose and Background

These presentations introduces the concept of nature-based solutions (NBS) and their role in natural hazard reduction and habitat preservation and creation as commonly used in more temperate regions. Using this experience as a baseline, the speakers then pivot to how these principles could or should be adapted for use in the Arctic or adjacent cold regions where biological processes differ as do the goals and needs of the local communities’ projects are intended to serve.

Learning outcomes and session benefits:

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

Define nature-based solutions (NbS) and describe the continuum of NbS features that exist

Identify what is needed to prioritize and accelerate use of NbS

Identify the 5 elements that are expanding the EWN lattice

Identify the 5 foundational principles critical to success of a EWN/NbS project

Describe 3 ways to measure progress through use of the Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for the Arctic Regions (NSAR)

Assessment of Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes are assessed by responding to the post-session survey. If the course is taken On-Demand, there will also be a 10-question multiple choice post-test.

Who Should Attend?
