This COP27 side event convened experts from the Friends of EbA Network, the Global EbA Fund, IUCN, UNEP, and the COP27 Presidency to celebrate success stories of nature-based solutions for adaptation from the ground in the last decade, hear from ministers around the world showcasing how their countries are implementing and scaling up these strategies, and together, set commitments to continue working together to accelerate global progress on working with nature to build climate resilience. Key messages of the event included the need to focus on priority areas for investment and urgently scale up; that there is a need for increasing funding, as well as strengthening monitoring and evaluation; Indigenous and Science-based knowledge should be mainstreamed; and robust standards such as FEBA’s EbA Qualification Criteria and IUCN’s Global Standard on NbS should be employed to create impact while adhering to social and ecological safeguards.
