IIASA Voices #11: Nature-based Solutions

Our IIASA Voices event focuses on Nature-based Solutions (NBS). The planet is facing multiple challenges as the impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss and other environmental problems are starting to be realized. Nature-based Solutions can address the climate-biodiversity nexus by utilising nature and the power of healthy ecosystems to protect people and economies, and safeguard a stable and biodiverse future. Learn more about how NBS can be enabled or hindered through governance systems with a special focus on addressing the near insurmountable nature financing gap. JoAnne Linnerooth-Bayer and Juliette Martin, with moderator Alberto Fresolone,  share their research and highlight policy and financing policy reforms for supporting NBS.
