About

Did you know that protecting the world’s forests and mangroves could prevent a loss of around USD$500 billion every year from the impacts of climate change? UNEP and UNEP-WCMC are now bringing you an online training course on how we can adapt to the impacts of climate change by integrating Nature-based Solutions into National Adaptation Plans.

Experts claim that National Adaptation Plans and using Nature-based Solutions are among the most important ways a country can ensure it adapts to climate change. This new online course explores the profound advantages and strengths of combining these two approaches and ensuring that National Adaptation Plans harness the power of Nature-based Solutions.

The 60-90-minute course not only looks at the extraordinary opportunities, but crucially, the severe risks of failing to recognize and incorporate nature into these plans.

A unique feature of the online course is that participants can explore an interactive landscape online that models the impacts of climate change on the ecosystem and the optimum nature-based solutions. The launch event will include a demo on this new interactive feature.

Whether you’re in the public sector, private sector, civil society or academia, this course has something to offer for you!
