Nature-based Solutions
Enhancing nature-based solutions to support climate adaptation.
E-Course Launch: Bringing Nature Into National Adaptation Planning
The UN Environment Programme would like to invite you to the launch of a brand-new online course, titled Bringing Nature Into National Adaptation Planning.
Storytelling for building adaptive capacity: Lessons from the Bow River Basin (Canada)
Explore inspiring stories of how communities in the Bow River Basin are innovating and adapting to climate change challenges through creative solutions in water management, agriculture, and habitat restoration.
Sustainable management of agrobiodiversity and recovery of vulnerable ecosystems in the Andean region of Peru
This report presents a comprehensive analysis of the GIAHS project's efforts to conserve agrobiodiversity and restore ecosystems in the Andean region of Peru. It highlights the importance of community participation, traditional knowledge, and the need for sustainable practices and policies to ensure the continuity of conservation efforts.
Online course: Forest and land monitoring for climate action
Follow this FAO course to learn how to apply high-resolution satellite imagery to critical forest and land monitoring in tropical forest countries.
Toolkit: Practical and inclusive capacity development in forested landscapes
This toolkit serves as a guide in developing and implementing capacity development initiatives for forest protection and conservation.
Best practice guidelines for mangrove restoration
The guidelines aim to build a shared understanding of best practices around mangrove management, and in doing so, to facilitate scaling up of cost effective, inclusive, and successful restoration.
Forestry Adaptation Practitioners’ Network (FAPN) Community Roundtable #1
The Forestry Adaptation Practitioners’ Network (FAPN) hosted a virtual Community Roundtable on July 24, 2023. The event brought the FAPN community together, to exchange ideas, share what they are working on, discuss challenges and learn from each other's experiences.
Project Coastbusters Biogenic reefs concept
Learn about the public-private 'Coastbusters' consortium which aims to study and translate desired coastal protection functionality into designs that make use of the capability of ecosystem engineering species. In other words, does ecosystem creation and the technical design of nature-based solutions provide a more sustainable and cost-effective management approach to conventional coastal engineering?
Catalogue of Ecosystem-based Adaptation Measures in Mountains
Explore the experiences of using Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) to build climate resilience in three mountain ranges. The catalogue provides practical information on these experiences to inform NbS practitioners, decision-makers, project designers and managers, researchers and local communities.
Principles for just and equitable nature-based solutions
Explore the issues that must be addressed to help ensure that the design, governance and implementation of nature-based solutions (NbS) are just and equitable in the second of the SEI NbS briefs. The authors outline five principles to incorporate in NbS to achieve these goals, and present a case study from a semi-informal settlement in Kenya.
