In recent years, nature-based solutions (NBS) have often been used in urban regeneration interventions to improve the resilience and comfort of our urban environments, helping to improve the environmental quality and cultural functions of ecosystems, including the physiological, social and mental health and well-being of people. The NbS-CoBAs tool has been developed to assess these co-benefits, on which literature is limited. Co-benefits include psychological restoration, social cohesion, sense of belonging, feeling of security and environmental justice. However, this tool is useless if it is not used, as it is necessary for users of these places to share their perception in order to know what these psychosocial benefits of urban naturalisation are. For this reason, we invite you to participate in this study by sharing your opinions on some of the selected urban public spaces in the Basque Country.

The study of the co-benefits of NBS is particularly related to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 3 on good health and well-being, SDG 10 on reduced inequalities, SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities and SDG 13 on climate action.

The soil beneath our feet provides ecosystem functions and services that enable life on Earth. Soil also helps in fighting and adapting to climate change.

Soil contains a quarter of the planet's carbon. It is also the most biologically diverse compartment, with a wide range of organisms whose functional value includes soil fertility, food production, and water retention, among others.

Unfortunately, the role that soils play has not been sufficiently recognized and valued to be prominently featured in climate and environmental debates. Now you can contribute to changing this by measuring, through LURZAIN, your soil's health and expanding the information we have about one of our most valuable resources: SOIL.

The study of soil health is especially related to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (although it actually indirectly contributes to all of them): SDG 1 on no poverty, SDG 2 on zero hunger, SDG 3 on good health and well-being, SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation, SDG 12 on responsible consumption and production, SDG 13 on climate action and SDG 15 on life on land.

One of the most destructive and common climatic phenomena faced by the territory is hail. In recent years, different episodes have caused damage to homes, vehicles, crops and even people, although, fortunately, the latter have not been serious enough to cause fatalities.

Observations and modelling indicate that climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and size of hail and we are therefore destined to live with this threat in the future.

Euskalmet currently has several hail detection tools, ranging from a weather radar to special sensors at different stations. Using modelling and forecasting capabilities, potentially destructive storm warnings are issued through the “Customised Alert” service. However, the local and ephemeral nature of hail means that there are limitations in the readings that can be taken.

Now you can help change this with Minka/KazkaApp. Through this citizen science project, those interested in collaborated are invited to send in photographs of hail they have witnessed. Recording the location, date and time of the episode and the approximate size of the hail is all of interest.

The main objective is to improve short-term warnings and prevent or reduce the damage caused. In the long term, this will contribute to understanding the effect of climate change on the incidence and size of hail storms.

The hail monitoring project contributes to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities, SDG 13 on climate action, SDG 17 on partnerships for the goals and to other goals such as SDG 2 on zero hunger, SDG3 on good health and well-being and SDG 4 on quality education.
