Abstract
The concept of Nature-based Solutions is guiding the development of actions that
can benefit both human societies and biodiversity. In this chapter, we illustrate how Green Infrastructures in particular have been used by the European Union to foster the integration of natural processes into spatial planning and development. We describe how functioning ecosystems support the delivery of ecosystem services and we explain the importance of considering ecosystem services-based multifunctionality and ecological connectivity when identifying and mapping components of Green Infrastructure.
