Nature is fundamental to health, providing essential material, psychological and regulating benefits. The degradation of nature significantly impacts health particularly for vulnerable groups such as Indigenous peoples and local communities who are vital stewards of global biodiversity.
This toolkit focuses on the integration of health considerations into Nature-based Solutions (NbS) projects, emphasizing the role of indigenous peoples and local communities in designing and implementing these initiatives.
The toolkit aims to raise awareness of the health-nature link, provide evidence-based guidance for NbS project design and mobilize support for projects that incorporate health considerations.
