The Nature Based Solutions (NBS) Community of Research was established following the NBS Knowledge Exchange Event in December 2025.
The initial primary aims of the group are to:
- Foster collaboration between researchers, policymakers, and civil society by sharing findings, aligning priorities, and addressing evidence gaps to inform policy and research agenda.
- Strengthen Welsh expertise in the use of NBS and its impacts, supporting post-graduate research (particularly amongst Early Career Researchers), internships, peer review, and student-led projects.
- Facilitate sharing of relevant funding opportunities and support grant-writing collaboration across institutions.
- Enable timely and science-informed policy advice to support key regulatory and legislative initiatives.
- CWA small sewage discharges guidance. This document contains design information as well as operation & maintenance tasks to keep systems working. It is suitable for onsite treatment, up to 5 m3/d.
