Nature · By Petra Holden ·
The Brief
- A Nature Communications article published online on 13 November 2026 argues for power-sensitive partnerships in nature-based solutions.
- The authors say nature-based solutions should better redistribute benefits and reduce climate risks for vulnerable groups in urban informal settlements.
- The article, doi 10.1038/s41467-026-79301-2, proposes a power-sensitive approach to enable this.
Why it matters
It frames who controls and benefits from nature-based climate projects in informal settlements, a concern for urban planners and climate researchers designing such projects.
