ABSTRACT:

This paper presents a pedagogical tool for the co-design of systemic and resilient Nature-based Solutions for carbon removal. Tested with nine participants, it significantly improved understanding of NbS dynamics. Wilcoxon tests showed higher scores for all thinking skills derived from Bloom’s taxonomy (p < 0.05), with notable gains for higher-order skills. Participants reported that the tool was intuitive and engaging, fostering collaborative learning. Results confirm its educational value and potential to engage creative and resilient NbS design.
