本論文は、寒冷乾燥地域における自然を基盤とした解決策（NbS）の有効性を議論する。生態系の制約が厳しい環境でも、NbSの設計により土地機能の回復、水の確保、生物多様性の保全、経済発展を同時に促進できると主張する。ヒンドゥークシュ・ヒマラヤ地域などの事例から、NbSが気候変動下での社会生態システムのレジリエンス戦略として重要であることを示す。
English
This perspective paper argues that Nature-based Solutions (NbS) remain highly relevant in cold arid regions, not from natural capital abundance but from their design as an integrative framework. Drawing on insights from the Hindu Kush Himalaya and other regions, it highlights that NbS can restore land functions, regulate water, sustain biodiversity, and promote economic development. The paper positions NbS as a core resilience strategy for cold arid socio-ecological systems under accelerating climate change.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本には寒冷乾燥地域は少ないが、統合的な土地・水・生計のレジリエンスという視点は、日本の中山間地域や過疎地の保全計画に応用可能性がある。また、NbSの設計アプローチは、日本の生態系を活用した防災（Eco-DRR）の推進にも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global discourse on nature-based solutions by focusing on cold arid landscapes, a neglected context. It provides a framework for integrating ecological functions with socioeconomic resilience, relevant for climate adaptation strategies worldwide, especially in mountainous and dryland regions.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Highlights the design dimension of NbS in ecologically constrained environments, offering a conceptual framework for further empirical work in cold arid regions.
🏢実務担当者:Provides guidance on designing NbS for integrated land-water-livelihood outcomes in challenging landscapes, applicable for projects in Central Asia or the Andes.
🏛政策担当者:Suggests that NbS should be considered a resilience strategy even in areas with low natural capital, informing national adaptation plans for arid and mountain regions.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Cold arid landscapes are amongst the most vulnerable, climate-stressed regions in the world. They are characterised by limited biomass, slow ecological processes, fragile soils and tightly coupled climate-land-water-livelihoods systems. The geo-physical and ecological constraints often make us think whether the applicability of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) is feasible in such an environment. This perspective paper argues that NbS remain highly relevant in cold arid regions- not because of natural capital abundance, but because of their design dimension as overarching and integrative framework. NbS design can simultaneously restore land functions, regulate water availability, sustain climate-sensitive biodiversity, and economic development while also promoting inclusive institutions and adaptive management. Drawing on insights from the Hindu Kush Himalaya and other regions of the world, the paper highlights that in an ecologically constrained space, resilience comes not from abundance and scale of nature, but from its coherent design that sustains ecological functions and processes, minimising both ecological and socio-economic vulnerabilities. We thus position NbS as a core resilience strategy for cold arid socio-ecological systems under accelerating climate change
