Abstract
The European Commission’s (EC) double publication ‘Evaluating the impact of nature-based solutions’ (NBS) can be considered as a milestone for the adoption and evaluation of these solutions, which reportedly have a significant potential for climate change mitigation or the improvement of social justice. This optimistic view, however, is not equally held by everyone: a widespread scepticism over the NBS concept makes clear that the debate about the potential and convenience of NBS is far from over. Here we review some of this criticism and put this EC double document (handbook + appendix) under deep scrutiny, with the aim of proposing improvements for it and as an opportunity to discuss general aspects of the NBS field. In particular, we base our criticism on four perspectives: climate emergency, economy-driven ideology, ecolinguistics and the presence of logic pitfalls. The general aim of this article is to discuss the relevance of the NBS concepts present in the EC texts in relation to the climate crisis.
