Anthropogenic climate change will worsen the environmental problems in European cities. With the main ones being floods, water scarcity and biodiversity decline. Furthermore, Europe’s climate will shift from its current temperate climate to a sub-tropic climate. One way to combat these problems is with Nature-Based Solutions. However, there have recently been studies indicating the limitations of Nature-Based Solutions for climate adaptation. There is an up and coming field in biology named, biomimicry. This field could help to make cities better adapted to a changing climate. As it is mainly concerned with translating natural processes to solve human problems. And the proposed blueprint for cities are forest ecosystems.
