The session offered a state-of-the-art account of (i) how nature-based solutions can combat climate change and biodiversity loss, (ii) to what extent governments have incorporated these within their global climate commitments (including both Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans), and (iii) launched new Guidelines on how countries can accelerate the integration of NbS into their climate adaptation and mitigation plans to raise global ambition via a whole-of-society approach.
L' Guidelines for Integrating Ecosystem-based Adaptation into National Adaptation Plans, supported by FEBA, were launched at this event.
