This dataset is the result of a systematic mapping of the application of nature-based solutions (NbS) to climate change adaptation in urban areas across the world. We screened 823 potential urban NbS to climate adaptation, which resulted in the inclusion of 216 interventions worldwide from 130 cities in 55 countries within our dataset. We analysed each of the NbS according to key characteristics in terms of how these interventions are helping cities confront the grave climate change, biodiversity, and related social challenges they are facing.
