Delivering Transformative Change and Multiple Benefits

The document argues that well-designed nature-based solutions (NbS) and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) can address the root causes of biodiversity loss and climate vulnerabilities while delivering co-benefits for human well-being and sustainable development. It emphasizes that scaling these solutions requires an enabling policy environment characterized by systematic integration into development and climate strategies, inclusive governance, and long-term financing.

• Nature-based solutions and ecosystem-based adaptation can drive transformative change by altering the views, structures, and practices that underlie climate vulnerabilities and biodiversity loss.
• NbS and EbA serve as integrated, cost-effective tools that provide multiple benefits across climate change mitigation, adaptation, biodiversity conservation, economic gains, and human well-being, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals.
• Scaling the implementation of NbS and EbA depends on creating an enabling policy environment that includes inclusive governance, adequate long-term funding, and the mainstreaming of these solutions into biodiversity, climate, and development strategies.
