Cheap, effective and scalable, nature-based solutions can help governments address the growing challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, increased frequency of extreme weather and natural hazards as well as other human-made environmental disasters.
While support for nature-based solutions is growing, uptake varies widely from region to region due to differing levels of economic development and funding, skepticism over evidence of long-term benefits and many other interconnected factors.
This report offers practical, expert-informed guidance on setting up and implementing nature-based solutions, especially for disaster risk reduction, but also for climate change adaptation.
