A deep understanding of the engineering, ecology, governance, finance and social acceptance is needed to be woven together for the effective development of nature-based solutions. Yvonne Buckley is co-director of the Co-Centre for Climate + Biodiversity + Water and professor of zoology at Trini...
The IUCN has recognised nature-based solutions (NBS) as an important tool in addressing societal challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and food security. And organisations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have highlighted the role NBS can play in limiting global...

基于自然的气候解决方案(nature-based climate solutions)成为了近一年来应对气候变化领域的新热词。联合国在中文官网提到: “基于自然的气候解决方案一方面对自然环境或经过改进的生态系统进行维护、恢复和可持续管理,另一方面也应对社会挑战,既增进人类福祉,又改善生物多样性。无论粮食安全、气候变化、水资源保障、人类健...
Nature-based solutions, such as urban green spaces, are shown to contribute to carbon emissions reduction and carbon sequestration, and also to have valuable indirect effects and behavioural impacts. Implementing such solutions could achieve carbon neutr
Natural climate solutions can mitigate climate change in the near-term, during a climate-critical window. Yet, persistent misunderstandings about what constitutes a natural climate solution generate unnecessary confusion and controversy, thereby delaying critical mitigation action. Based on a review of scie...
Very little private investment is currently going into nature-based solutions, and experts say that this funding must increase substantially. The world is falling short of “building back better” with only 18 per cent of economic recovery spending on green i...
China’s proposal – Drawing a “Red Line” for Ecological Protection to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change – has been selected by the UN as one of the 15 best Nature-based Solutions around the globe. Drawing ECRLs and...
