Abstract Nature-based Solutions(NbS) are actions to protect, restore and manage ecosystems, and keep sustainable management of ecosystems, which would benefit humans. NbS are widely accepted by the international community as effective approaches to combat human challenges including ecosystem degradation, global warming as well as biodiversity loss. At present, the relevant theories of NbS in the world are still under consturction. The organizations represented by the IUCN have initially established the global standards and guidelines of NbS. The NbS researches in China mainly refer to the global standards, and have not formed a local theory or standard system yet. Besides, the practical work under the standards was also in absence. In this paper based on the literature review of NbS, the authors summarized the development status and tendency of NbS, and investigated the typical case of Banni grassland ecosystem restoration in India. Combined with the national conditions, seven recommendations on NbS for China were proposed, that is mainstreaming the NbS policy, strengthening regional and international cooperation, strengthening the investment of NbS funds, establishing local NbS standards and guidelines, cooperating among departments, emphasizing pilot experiment, and strengthening the bottom-up participation mode. Finally, the authors expect that this paper would provide an international perspective for Chinese researchers and practitioners on NbS.
