Sammendrag
In this paper, we reflect on the implications for science, policy and practice of the recently introduced concept of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), with a focus on the European context. First, we analyse NBS in relation to similar concepts, and reflect on its relationship to sustainability as an overarching framework. Fromthis, we derive a set of questions to be addressed and propose a general framework for howthese might be addressed in NBS projects by funders, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners. We conclude that: (1) NBS need to be developed and discussed in relation to existing concepts to clarify their added value; (2) When considering and implementingNBS, the ‘relabelling’ of related concepts and themisuse of the concepthave to be prevented in order to avoid misunderstanding, duplication and unintended consequences; (3) NBS as currently framed by the European Commission provides an opportunity for: a) transdisciplinary research into the design and implementation of solutions based on nature; and b) overcoming a bias towards development alternatives with narrow perspectives that focus on short-term economic gains and effectiveness; (4) The strength of the NBS concept is its integrative, systemic approach which prevents it from becoming just

The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt
Main
Freshwater ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots and provide vital ecosystem services, including drinking water, food, energy and recreation. However, humans have degraded freshwaters for centuries, with impacts sharply increasing after World War II during the great acceleration3. Freshwaters are exposed to anthropogenic pressures from agricultural and urban land uses over whole catchments, accumulating pollutants, including phosphorus, organic-rich effluents, fine sediments, pesticides and emergent pollutants (such as nanoplastics and pharmaceuticals)4,5. Furthermore, freshwaters have been degraded by hydromorphological alterations, water extraction, invasive species and climate change6,7. In response to legislation such as the US Clean Water Act (1972) and the EU Water Framework Directive (2000), key countermeasures designed to improve water quality and restore freshwater habitats were implemented, including better wastewater treatment and controls on the emission of airborne pollutants. These actions resulted in considerable declines in organic pollution and acidification beginning around 19808. Over the past 50 years, such mitigation measures have resulted in quantifiable improvements in fr
