From tree planting to sponge cities': why nature-based solutions are crucial to fighting the climate crisis
Briefly

"Nature-based solutions is an umbrella term for using the power of nature to mitigate the impact of climate change while benefiting biodiversity and human wellbeing."
"The Paris agreement is not just about limiting global heating. It also includes commitments on mitigation and adaptation to a hotter world where flooding, droughts and large storms will be more common and intense due to higher concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from fossil fuels. Nature can help keep us safe from the worst effects in many cases."
"Many scientists warn that human behaviour is driving the sixth mass extinction of life on Earth, with 1 million species at risk of disappearing. This, in turn, is degrading the planet's ability to support human life and wellbeing."
