Nature-based solutions for climate change: From global ambition to local action
The world is facing two unprecedented environmental crises: biodiversity loss and climate change. The causes of these challenges are interrelated, as are the solutions. Join the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) for an online event on 22 May 2020, the International Day of Biological Diversity, to discuss how the global ambition around nature-based solutions for climate change can be translated into local action. Nature-based solutions (NbS) are actions that protect, sustainably manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems to address societal challenges.
This online event will bring together government, private sector and practitioners to discuss how we can translate global ambitions on NbS into local actions that can benefit those most vulnerable to climate change. It will ask:
- How can NbS move us from business as usual and deliver changes we need urgently and at scale?
- How can NbS be financed so the resources can reach communities who are already bearing the brunt of climate change impacts?
- How can those who have been implementing NbS, including indigenous peoples and local communities, be supported to work with nature at scale?
