Nature can make important contributions to the mitigation of climate extremes through urban green infrastructure (UGI) as of nature-based solutions (NbS). Ecosystem-related planning methodologies are a comprehensive approach to foster sustainable development. Moreover, NbS contribute to land recycling and soil restoration, as well as wastewater purification and disaster risk reduction. In the frame of sustainable urbanization, NbS may support the water cycle restoration on all catchment scales, as well as the improvement of water quality. In addition, NbS generate further additional benefits like ecosystem services and can be considered more cost-effective on the long term. The present contribution illustrates the options for the development of tailored UGI in the urban realm through a showcase from Holguín (Cuba) and the estimation of the respective ecosystem services net benefits using the i-Tree software. Here, beside the development of an UGI potential map, three pilot sites are investigated to apply ecological engineering solutions.

应对奥尔金极端气候的城市绿色基础设施：古巴背景下的生态工程解决方案

自然可以通过城市绿色基础设施 (UGI) 和基于自然的解决方案 (NbS) 为减缓气候极端事件做出重要贡献。与生态系统相关的规划方法是促进可持续发展的综合方法。此外，NbS 有助于土地回收和土壤恢复，以及废水净化和减少灾害风险。在可持续城市化的框架下，NbS 可以支持所有流域尺度的水循环恢复，以及水质的改善。此外，NbS 还能产生更多额外好处，例如生态系统服务，从长远来看，可以认为更具成本效益。目前的贡献通过来自 Holguín（古巴）的展示和使用 i-Tree 软件估计相应的生态系统服务净收益，说明了在城市领域开发定制 UGI 的选项。在这里，除了开发 UGI 潜力图外，还研究了三个试点地点以应用生态工程解决方案。
