Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) encompass endeavors aimed at safeguarding, sustainably managing, and restoring both natural and altered ecosystems to concurrently enhance the well-being of both humanity and the environment. NbS play a pivotal role in tackling multifaceted challenges such as climate change, food and water security, disaster risk reduction, human health improvement, and fostering social and economic development. Striking a balance between conservation and sustainable development, NbS exemplifies how leveraging nature can promote societal welfare and human prosperity. Consequently, NbS play a crucial role in fostering a transition towards a low-carbon future, facilitating climate change adaptation and resilience, and supporting various essential ecosystem functions.
This publication delineates feasible pathways for integrating NbS into corporate climate strategies, aligning with the defined principles and the Global Standard for NbS™. When implemented effectively, NbS can significantly contribute to both climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, while concurrently delivering significant benefits for biodiversity conservation and human well-being.
