Abstract	Nature based solutions (Nbs) are efficient, nature powered ways that can protect and help manage regional ecosystems like green corridors, mangroves to solve societal problems. By amplifying nature’s own defences, they help address the current climate change, like flash floods, unbearable heat, water scarcity, Damage to biodiversity, and local livability issues. Usually artificial means are used to manage these issues which often proves to be expensive whenever there is an occurrence of natural disaster commonly in human settlements that are prone to be affected by them instead Nbs delivers where it matters the most they capture excess carbon, cool overheated places, filters polluted air and water, acts as a shield against disasters, helps revive wildlife habitats, generate green jobs, bolster food and water security, and uplift community health and well-being. This is rooted in indigenous wisdom which are equitable long-term resilience turning into thriving life source for the people and the planet. In Our fast-growing Nation Nbs would spark a positive change that would be beneficial to locals living in the cities and be sustainable if used in more cities. This study reviews recent advances through policies, real-world successes, and practical models. Results show NbS can achieve up to 37% of India's emission cuts while fuelling jobs by Government supported schemes. These actions sync perfectly with climate commitments taken by the nation and global biodiversity goals, driving adequate sustainability. Cities like Kochi, Bhubaneswar, Chennai, and Bengaluru benefit enormously. These Regions battle heat islands, devastating floods, and water stress on already low budget. NbS actions are proven In Kochi, community planting and urban forests (via WRI-supported projects) have reduced flood risks, reduced temperatures in the neighbourhoods, prevented erosion, and created well-meaning jobs for low-income groups. Bengaluru’s green space efforts and Chennai’s wetland revival have mitigated wetland loss. But challenges like understudied policies, inadequate funding in research and lack of general awareness remain while they can be done away with reforms at larger scale with implantation of Nbs nationwide.
