Nordic Nature-Based Solutions: a slide show

A stone bridge crosses a stream of water in an urban setting in Oslo city. A small duck is laying on one of the stones, and a bigger duck swimming besides the bridge. Around the bridge are many trees and behind the trees, several houses can be seen.
A very big body of water is surrounded by concrete walls. In the water are several ducks. On the left side is the city, and on the right side nature is leaning onto the water,
A pool of blue water beyond a grey shore of sand and pebbles. In the background are lush, green hills and a blue sky without any clouds.
Roof-top garden with people making cider in clear weather.
In the foreground is blue water, the restored bank. Behind it are green hills, on which a couple of power cables are hanging in the air. In the very background is the blue sky with no clouds.
A waterhole in a garden surrounded by lush, green plants, which are again surrounded by a structure of stones. In the back, big buildings from the city can be seen, as well as two beekeeping houses within the same garden.
Park, vegetation and stream with apartment blocks around.
