NATURELAB将通过调查以自然为基础的疗法（NBT）在促进福祉和支持健康预防和康复方面的益处，有助于提高对绿色和蓝色空间作为卫生保健提供者的认识、推广和利用。来自5个欧洲和拉丁美洲国家（PT、EL、NL、DE和PE）农村、沿海和城市地区的15个试验点和4个示范研究员的约4000名参与者将体验NATURELAB NBT项目。参与者将确保在性别、年龄和社会经济地位方面具有代表性。地理位置包括各种气候、自然（绿色和蓝色）、生态系统、生物多样性、文化、政策和行政场景。将处理的健康问题包括身体（高血压）和精神状况（抑郁症）等。NATURELAB提出了一种创新的方法，通过提高绿色和蓝色区域的效益，如对气候变化的适应能力，促进生物多样性和城市水资源管理，以及解决空气污染和噪音水平，为有弹性的社区做出贡献。除其他外，该项目将提供：i)针对不同需要的人口量身定制的NBT方案；㈡根据自然资本核算的要求，对自然的健康潜力进行分类的指标组合和分析绿地的健康效益的准则；iv)创建和管理私人和公共康复花园、园艺/园艺空间的指南，将气候适应能力和环境可持续性结合起来；（四）支助保健部门的新家庭保健筹资计划方案指南；（五）促进将新家庭保健纳入公共保健部门的指南。全世界约有600名保健专业人员将接受NATURELAB NBT方案，并将提供8000-10000份创新教育和培训材料。新工作——治疗师；园艺和园艺产业将被开发。

NATURELAB will contribute to increased recognition, promotion and use of green and blue spaces as health care providers, by investigating the benefits of nature-based therapies (NBT) to promote well-being and support health prevention & rehabilitation. Around 4000 participants from 15 Experimental Sites and 4 Demonstrator Fellows located in rural, coastal, and urban areas of five European and Latin American countries (PT, EL, NL, DE, and PE) will experience the NATURELAB NBT programmes. The participants will ensure a representative sample of gender, age and socioeconomic status. The geographic locations comprise a variety of climate, nature (green and blue), ecosystems, biodiversity, cultural, policy and administrative scenarios. The health issues that will be addressed include physical (hypertension) and mental conditions (depression), among others. NATURELAB proposes an innovative approach to contribute to resilient communities, by enhancing the green and blue areas' benefits - as the resilience to climate change, the promotion of biodiversity and urban water management, and addressing as well air pollution and noise levels. The project will deliver, among others: i) NBT programmes tailored to population with different needs; ii) Portfolio of indicators to classify the health potential of nature & Guidelines to analyse the health benefits of green areas as required by natural capital accounting; iv) Guidelines for the creation and management of private and public healing gardens, horticulture/gardening spaces merging climate resilience and environment sustainability; iv) Programme Guide for funding scheme to support NBT in the health sector and v) Guidelines to promote the integration of NB care in the public health sector. Around 600 health professionals worldwide will receive the NATURELAB NBT programmes, and 8000-10000 innovative educational and training materials will be delivered. New jobs - therapists; horticulture & gardening industries -will be exploited.
