Assess and support the integration of NbS across sectors by proposing further research on opportunities, limitations, and mechanisms for cross-policy collaboration leading to increased uptake of NbS across environmental, social, and economic policies, e.g. bioeconomy, circular and nature positive economy, forestry, climate, health, education or agricultural policies, but also toward nexus between policies. Research can offer valuable guidance through e.g., cross-sector analyses of NbS incentives, or the development of science-based targets and governance frameworks for improved coherence across sector-specific policy objectives in supporting NbS. Consequently, results can also contribute to the adaptation of existing funding instruments and policies to promote and support NbS
