The focus of the project is on nature-based solutions to hu- man problems. "For example, planting trees helps in reduc- ing surface run-off by replac- ing impermeable surfaces with permeable ones from which the aquifers can re-charge. But they also provide shade and contribute to mental well-be- ing." Green roofs help in restoring biodiversity in cities but also help in cooling down tempera- tures in buildings and provide much needed recreational space. "While green roofs and green walls have entered popu- lar parlance and are sometimes considered in development projects, a lot of research still needs to be done to establish which kind of green infra- structure offers the best solu- tions in the Maltese contexts. Moreover architects and plan- ners need clearer guidelines on what actually constitutes a green wall or roof and how it is best adopted in the Maltese context." This also requires more in- telligent urban planning based around these local solutions. "Trees can serve an impor- tant role in tackling air-quality. But even tree planting requires planning as the effectiveness of such measures is likely to de- pend on the tree species and the surrounding environment." The development of nature- based solutions is also linked to road infrastructure which is traditionally car-centred. On the other hand putting nature and trees at the centre of infra- structure comes with several benefits for residents, ranging from more shaded areas to water retention, in short mak- ing "our cities more liveable." But the first step required is to recognise renaturing is based on science and "requires the input of professionals in different fields," Balzan says such as scientific modelling in different areas ranging from air quality to hydrology. Ulti- mately the aim will be that of coming up with different solu- tions in the context of Malta's limited space. "The idea is to use nature- based solutions to address a wide variety of issues rather than one particular issue like flooding. One should structure nature-based solutions to pro- vide multiple benefits." For example, recent studies have shown that urban green spaces can provide a habitat to pollinators like wild bees, of which Malta has 101 species, and may also have an impor- tant role in the conservation of biodiversity. But it also comes with an educational benefit. The installation of bee hotels, offering nesting sites to wild solitary bees in public gardens also helps to instil curiosity in children and thus, perform an important educational func- tion. "Our children have a lack of contact with nature. How can we speak about the protec- tion of our countryside if our children lack any contact with nature in their daily life? Chil- dren should not have to go to Buskett or Comino to observe nature. They should be able to do so in their hometowns," Balzan says. But this also requires a quali- tative leap in how we plan our urban open spaces and gar- dens. "It is good that we invest in outdoor furniture and paving for our gardens but it is also very important that we bring nature closer to our children." Nature-based solutions also contribute to mental health to the extent that professionals in the medical field in other coun- tries are prescribing more time in nature apart from medicines. Moreover, having more green public areas also contributes to strengthening community ties. But while the future for na- ture-based solutions is prom- ising and is now recognised by international institutions like the European Union, the focus of this project at present is on research capacity building. "We are building the net- works. In the future there is a lot of opportunity for practi- cal projects involving nature- based solutions. We need to put our ideas to the test. We have to build the evidence to show this is the way forward through tangible deliverables not just in terms of addressing problems like flooding and air pollution but also in terms of human health and well being." "How can we speak about the protection of our countryside if our children lack any contact with nature in their daily life?" "We need to put our ideas to the test. We have to build the evidence to show this is the way forward through tangible deliverables" Mario Balzan
