Knowledge Products
FEBA members collaborate through both formal working groups as well as ad-hoc groups to produce collective knowledge products on a range of thematic issues, working to advance awareness, understanding and uptake of nature-based solutions for adpatation and resilience in on-ground efforts, local and national adaptation planning, and multilateral policy frameworks.

PEDRR/FEBA Recommendations based on the 1st draft of the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF)
In October 2020, the Partnership for Disaster Risk Reduction (PEDRR) and FEBA released a policy brief “Promoting Nature-based Solutions in the post-2020 global biodiversity framework”. This brief aimed to clarify the terminology of Nature-based Solutions and how it relates to ecosystem-based approaches such as adaptation and disaster risk reduction. Additionally, it underpinned why incorporating NbS within the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) has the potential to bring about transformational change in society’s relationship with nature, accelerate progress towards the SDGs, and ensure that, by 2050, the shared vision of living in harmony with nature is fulfilled.
PEDRR and FEBA welcome the first draft of the framework as a major step towards securing a crucial global biodiversity agreement. However, in line with PEDRR and FEBA’s aims, we provide recommendations for Member States to help ensure a final global biodiversity framework that ensures resilience of biodiversity and ecosystems in the face of climate change and increasing disaster risk.
