Cities worldwide are increasingly turning to nature-based solutions (NBS) to address extreme weather and sustainability challenges. While promising, recent history demonstrates that NBS can also lead to issues like green gentrification. Our research highlights how urban greening efforts can exacerbate inequities when driven by private markets. To avoid these pitfalls, it's crucial to prioritize community needs in climate adaptation strategies. Through this Partnership Development Grant, we are collaborating with Vancouver communities to explore how climate vulnerability varies within the same city. Our project unites multiple researchers and partners from various sectors to co-create tailored, systems-level solutions that integrate NBS into community-driven climate adaptation efforts.
