| چکیده مقاله |
| Today, the growing environmental challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and the degradation of natural resources, make it crucial to develop comprehensive and sustainable solutions to address these issues. Nature-based solutions, as an innovative approach, focus on the conservation, restoration, and sustainable use of ecosystems, while simultaneously meeting both human and environmental needs. This study emphasizes the design of a comprehensive framework for implementing these solutions by utilizing systems thinking and system dynamics analysis. Systems thinking, with its holistic perspective, allows for the identification of interactions among various components of natural, social, and economic systems, providing a foundation for the development of intelligent solutions. Furthermore, system dynamics, as a powerful tool, helps analyze trends and predict changes in complex systems. The combination of these two approaches can lead to the creation of solutions that are not only effective in the short term but also ensure long-term sustainability. The proposed framework highlights principles such as the coordinated interaction of components, understanding interrelationships within systems, and leveraging feedback loops for continuous improvement. The findings suggest that this framework can enhance the performance of nature-based solutions and transform them into powerful tools for managing environmental issues at both local and global levels. This framework not only yields positive environmental and social impacts but also contributes to the achievement of sustainable development goals and fosters a balance between humanity and nature. |
