Exploring the potential of urban nature-based solutions to address infectious disease: a case study in Bharatpur, Nepal
This SEI report examines the drivers of infectious diseases in Bharatpur, Nepal, finding that dengue (18.4% of households) and skin infections (11.5%) are significantly linked to proximity to garbage disposal sites and reliance on surface water. While nature-based solutions like green streets and rainwater harvesting are proposed to mitigate these risks by improving drainage and cooling, the report emphasizes that such solutions cannot substitute for essential municipal infrastructure, specifically piped water and reliable solid waste management.
