Summary

The Earth is facing a pressing climate crisis, with rising greenhouse gas emissions driving global temperatures to unprecedented levels. nature-based solutions have emerged as a powerful tool in the battle to mitigate climate change. One of the key roles of nature-based solutions is carbon sequestration, a process that captures and stores carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, helping to combat climate change, while also providing a multitude of additional benefits to ecosystems and communities. Another important role is that NbS is designed to provide measurable benefits for biodiversity.
