Summary

This article examines how policy can support higher education (HE) and technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions in systematically integrating Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and biodiversity into teaching and learning. Drawing on insights from ᴇNᴀBʟS’ mapping activities, it highlights three key dimensions where HE and TVET institutions can focus their efforts: (1) strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, (2) fostering mutual learning between HE and TVET institutions, and (3) enhancing awareness and developing competencies in NBS among educators and learners.
