"text": "
Nature-based solutions (NbS), sometimes referred to as engineering with nature, is a design approach that leverages the positive benefits of natural systems in conjunction with traditional engineering. Weaving natural features and processes into our design work increases long-term human, ecological, and infrastructure resilience to climate change and other environmental impacts.
In the face of a changing climate and biodiversity loss, there’s never been a more urgent time for NbS. Why? It plays a vital role in carbon sequestration by supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)—helping to mitigate climate change and generate a multiplicity of benefits.
Our holistic approach supports communities, industry, and our national security through the integration of NbS, resulting in social, economic, and environmental benefits.
Whether the need is a bioswale to mitigate flooding, wetlands to filter storm and wastewater, or a coastal restoration that safeguards infrastructure, Stantec’s NbS program has you covered. When it comes to achieving your organization’s objectives in biodiversity and sustainability—we bring the needed technical expertise.
