Nature-Based Solutions | 2 JUN

Nature-based solutions are actions that protect, sustainably manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems to address societal challenges. They can provide a wide range of environmental, social and economic benefits and are indispensable for both climate change mitigation and adaptation. But for years challenges in nature, biodiversity and climate have been tackled separately. Now, many believe solutions to growing social, environment and climate threats lie within the very nature of nature. As Governments are beginning to understand that protecting nature is no longer optional — safeguarding our land and oceans does more than protect at-threat biodiversity, it is also critical to rebuilding economies in a sustainable, healthy way. The true value of our natural world and ecosystems is only just starting to be understood.
