Nature-based solutions involve restoring and protecting natural ecosystems and environments. They include restoring coral reefs, use ofregenerative agricultural practices, planting indigenous crops that are drought resistant and suitable for carbon sequencing and soil quality restoration, reintroducing green spaces in urban areas and reforestation.
A prominent example of the commitment to nature-based climate solutions was the alliance formed at COP27 by Brazil, Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, home to half of the world’s tropical rain forests.
