This Video is part of a series created for the 'Enhance Adaptation and Resilience using Nature-based Solutions Micro Qualification'. This was funded by the Kiwa Initiative and conceived of and managed by The Pacific Community (SPC). Auckland University of Technology researchers, along with NUWAO researchers, and people from Griffith University and Ecosystem Services Consultants put the teaching materials together and ran a pilot course in late 2025 through Griffith University. Filmmaker Nick Monks created these films.

This film is 'Urban Nature-based Solutions in Oceania'
Framing
-This video explores urban nature based solutions.
-The focus is some case study examples in Aotearoa to showcase best practice.
-It highlights that Pacific urban areas face pressures that NbS can help to address.

Key messages
-The Pacific is highly urbanised. Urban areas face climate, ecosystem and socio-cultural issues. NbS can help to address these.
-In the Pacific, people, land, waters, and spirit are seen as interconnected. These traditions remain a vital foundation for Pacific place-based urbanism and regeneration.
-Customary communities teach us that nature-based solutions are not new technology that solves problems. They are ways to lift the wellbeing of people, land and waters together.
-Integrating NbS into complex urban systems and spaces increases resilience to urban contamination, pollution, flooding, heating, and wider climate/ecosystem change
-Where grey infrastructure has one function and limited capacity, urban nature-based solutions tend to be resilient, adaptive and offer multiple benefits.
-Blending Indigenous and local lived experience with NbS design helps Pacific cities to adapt well to climate change.
