Nature-based solutions to climate change

None

Project description

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are ways of working with natural systems to both strengthen them while solving broader problems such as climate change but also health, social inclusion, and more. The opportunity that NbS offer to help tackle the climate crises, whilst also addressing the collapse in biodiversity, has gained increasing profile and attention. This is particularly with respect to the role of NbS in reducing emissions associated with land use and to enhancing natural climate sinks but can also include projects designed to deliver increased climate resilience. However, there remains significant confusion as to what exactly �counts� as an NbS, how to deliver them successfully and what their exact potential is to contribute to solving climate change, alongside wider societal goals. This hub aims to help companies navigate NbS; setting out the definition, opportunities and challenges, alongside how we can help companies on this journey.
