Nature-based Solutions for Pollution Prevention

Exploring how nature-based solutions (NbS) contribute to pollution reduction and provide a myriad of co-benefits for environment and community alike

From strategic tree plantings to wetland restoration projects, nature-based solutions (NbS) are quickly becoming a key part of many pollution prevention strategies. These solutions are accessible, scalable, and offer many co-benefits, like increased biodiversity and climate resilience. NbS can advance pollution prevention goals on corporate lands while enhancing ecosystem services and contributing to local, regional, and large-scale restoration efforts.

WHC is being funded under EPA’s Source Reduction Assistance (SRA) Grant program to explore the opportunities to implement NbS for pollution reduction across the automotive industry. Through a program of technical assistance, research and analysis, stakeholder engagement and workshops, this effort seeks to develop and advance nature-based solutions as pollution prevention in the industry.
