Description:
Innovative climate adaptation approaches that integrate both technology and nature-based solutions offer the potential to be more robust, comprehensive, and cost-effective than either solution alone.
This policy brief provides an overview of the value of integrated adaptation solutions and the challenges and opportunities to increasing their uptake and scaling, including through interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches based on:
Partnerships;
Supportive policy and regulatory frameworks;
Sustained, innovative and accessible financing;
Use of evidence-based targets.
