Abstract

Nature-based solutions (NbS) is an umbrella concept that includes a variety of ecosystem-based approaches such as Green Infrastructure (GI), ecological restoration, ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction, and ecological engineering (Cohen-Shacham, 2016). Decision makers rapidly adopted the GI concept after its conceptualization was refined at the beginning of the 21st century (Wright, 2011). Environmental concepts are neither fixed nor neutral: they evolve over time and space and are intertwined within power relations (Greer and Cameron, 2015). This article draws on an in-depth social science literature review and a brief quantitative bibliometric assessment to analyze the socio-political construction of the concept, how its properties have stabilized – or not – and how it is used by stakeholders.Les solutions basées sur la nature sont un concept englobant diverses approches basées sur les écosystèmes telles que les infrastructures vertes, la restauration écologique, la réduction des risques de catastrophes basée sur les écosystèmes, l'ingénierie écologique (Cohen-Shacham, 2016). Les décideurs ont rapidement adopté le concept d’infrastructure verte au début du 21e siècle (Wright, 2011). Les concepts environnementaux évoluent dans le temps et l'espace et sont imbriqués dans les relations de pouvoir (Greer and Cameron, 2015). Cet article s'appuie sur une revue de la littérature en sciences sociales et un état des lieux bibliométrique pour analyser la construction socio-politique du concept d’infrastructure verte, la stabilisation – ou non – de ses propriétés et son utilisation par les parties prenantes.
