From Nature based solutions


This wiki site is a prototype. It is currently in development as a concept and may be withdrawn.

Welcome to Nature based solutions!

An open planning space for nature based solutions by the Scottish Wildlife Trust

Our big idea

Nature based solutions is key to tackling the climate and nature crisis. This is essential for Scotland's contribution to progressing the Sustainable Development Goals, as articulated in Scotland by its National Performance Framework.

Our aim is to bring together our collective knowledge on nature based solutions to address the shared challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, and work together to create a nature-rich future.

What are we trying to achieve on this site?

  • We believe that the environment sector in Scotland will achieve more if it collaborates openly on this agenda.
  • This site is a shared and open planning space. Use this space to collaborate with others openly on nature based solutions.
  • You can immediately start working on developing this wiki, whenever you want (no wiki experience required).
  • There is no need to register or sign in, unless you want your ideas to be attributed to you (so others can see who has contributed what).
  • We want you to directly shape these plans by adding your ideas and content to this wiki. It will directly inform the work to promote nature based solutions in Scotland.

Why are we using a wiki?

  • It’s accessible through the government firewalls – many proprietary digital platforms are not
  • It’s more robust and road-tested – it uses the same underlying technology as Wikipedia. While it’s old tech, it has been evolving extensively over the years
  • It’s easier for people to get into, as they don’t need an account unlike many other platforms – this makes a big difference
  • Finally, and importantly, it’s machine readable by the software used by people with accessibility needs, which is important for equality / inclusion
