Course overview

This hybrid training course is designed to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of Nature-based Solutions (NbS). It focuses on the core principles of NbS and their practical application in addressing the dual challenges of climate change impacts and disaster risks. By exploring fundamental approaches to designing and implementing NbS, the course aims to build resilience across diverse national and regional contexts.

Course objectives

The specific objectives of the training are to:

• Introduce the concepts of ecosystem services and Nature-based Solutions, emphasizing their key principles and their role in enhancing resilience to climate- and disaster-related hazards. 
• Familiarize participants with relevant international frameworks on Nature-based Solutions, with particular focus on the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions. 
• Strengthen participants’ practical understanding of implementing NbS for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA), including approaches for mainstreaming NbS into policies, planning, and decision-making processes.
