D4.1 FWC-NbS Catalogue

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This document compiles the Full Water Cycle Nature-based Solutions (FWC-NbS) solutions developed within NATMed, presenting their design, implementation processes, challenges encountered and the impact achieved across the five Mediterranean case studies. Building on the work carried out throughout the project, the catalogue reflects the full cycle of NbS development, from initial diagnosis and co-design to deployment and monitoring. A central pilar of the assessment is the use of the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions, which has guided each case study in evaluating the quality, robustness, and long-term sustainability of its interventions. By applying this standard, the project teams were able to systematically identify strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement, ensuring that the solutions not only address water-related challenges but also deliver broader ecosystem and societal benefits.The catalogue is intended as a practical reference for technical professionals and other NbS practitioners or public interested in the NATMed project and FWC-NbS.
