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 UNFCCC Newsroom Article.
