Governance GUIDEBOOK
The aim of this guidebook is to outline a key aspect of how to embed nature-based solutions in your city – and that is governance. Governance is broader than government. It covers the legal frameworks, the formal and informal networks and organisations and the rules and policies related to the thing being governed. Governments change; governance continues and evolves.

Aligning nature-based solutions with strategic priorities: a practical guide
A key barrier to realising the potential of nature-based solutions in cities is often silo-working. This means that a typical hierarchical structure has people working on one issue or sector without having the opportunity to work with colleagues in other departments or institutions to combine efforts and achieve more. This guide is for people working in city governments who want to develop nature-based solutions that deliver multiple benefits for their city.
It has been developed by EM|Pathwith input from five years’ work with 10 cities across Europe, together with academic partners and enterprises who were part of the Connecting Nature project.

Reflexive Monitoring Guidebook
This guidebook is the result of a co-creation process between research partners and European cities within the scope of the Connecting Nature project. The aims are to support the scaling of nature-based solutions in cities and to position Europe as a global leader in the innovation and implementation of those solutions by co-creating a toolkit for cities. Nature-based solutions are actions which are inspired by, supported by or copied from nature. They harbour opportunities for simultaneously regenerating ecosystems, combatting climate change and improving human wellbeing.

Technical solutions guidebook 
Technical solutions are the technical components that go into the planning, delivery and the long-term stewardship of Nature-Based Solutions. Technical solutions would include, for example, the type of nature-based solution selected, the plants selected, anything that takes into account the local circumstances and, when it comes to the stewardship or ongoing management of the nature-based solution, feeding the results of evaluation and on-going measurement into the project is also considered a technical aspect.
