This research aims to synthesize previous work on Nature-based Solutions, which have gained prominence in climate change and equitable development studies. Using China's National Knowledge Inventory and the WOSB, academic articles on NbS are screened to identify critical points, explore relationships between research pieces, and propose avenues for enhancing NbS in academic and industrial contexts. The study reveals a current focus on object-based schemes rather than subject or goal-based approaches, emphasizing the importance of indigenous resource applications within China's NbS development. The findings shed light on diverse domestic and international methods employed to investigate and implement Nature-based approaches, facilitating their localization in China.
