There is a growing recognition of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) as one of the most effective approaches to addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and community resilience. A study by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that ecosystem conservation and restoration could deliver up to 37[MA1] % of the climate mitigation needed by 2030. Yet, despite this significant potential, investment in NbS remains well below the level required to achieve global climate, biodiversity and land restoration goals. In addition, many promising community led initiatives lack access to the technical expertise, strategic partnerships, and funding pathways required to scale their impact.
