The presence of antibiotic-resistant (AR) E. coli , antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and intI1 was investigated in different treatment stages, comparing a conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with a nature-based system in a decentralised area comprising upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors (UASBs), constructed wetlands (CWs), and an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection unit. Furthermore, the efficacy...

Climate change challenges necessitate innovative, effective and sustainable mitigation measures to enhance ecosystem resilience. This study presents the development and application of a participatory, and cross-sectoral multi-criteria assessment (MCA) decision-support tool designed to prioritize Nature-based Solutions (NBS) and Bioeconomy Solutions (BES) based on Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) nexus and selected impact (So...
