Page Content:
Nature-based solutions are vital to strengthen
livelihoods, ensure food security and protect lives. While momentum is
growing about how biodiversity and oceans play a part in enhancing
resilience, knowledge gaps in adapting to the impacts of climate change
still exist and pose barriers to countries taking necessary adaptation
action.
To inform dicussions and help build capacity, UN Climate Change’s Nairobi Work Programme (
NWP
)
- the Knowledge-To-Action Hub for adaptation and resilience - issued
two publications: one focusing on knowledge gaps in integrating forest
and grassland biodiversity and ecosystems into adaptation strategies;
and another one on building resilience of oceans, coastal areas and
ecosystems.
To read more about nature-based
solutions and learn about the two new publications, see this
