Des solutions d’adaptation aux changements climatiques fondées sur la nature et inclusives

The fact sheet defines nature-based adaptation solutions (SafN) as actions to protect and manage ecosystems to improve community and nature resilience. It argues that for these solutions to be effective, they must be inclusive, accounting for how culture, customs, and social roles influence a person's ability to participate and benefit. The document provides a set of practical recommendations for inclusive planning, such as consulting high-risk groups, ensuring accessible meeting times and locations, and collaborating with local specialists to remove barriers to equitable benefit distribution. It highlights how climate impacts vary by identity, noting that women fishers, small-scale farmers, people with disabilities, and men in storm response face distinct risks based on their societal roles and resource access.

• Nature-based adaptation solutions (SafN) are defined as actions to protect, conserve, restore, sustainably use, and manage natural ecosystems to enhance the resilience of both nature and communities against climate change.
• To be effective, SafN must integrate the needs and priorities of diverse individuals and consider how culture, customs, roles, and responsibilities affect their capacity to participate and benefit.
• Inclusive implementation of SafN requires specific participatory actions, including consulting those most at risk to identify effective adaptation strategies, involving high-risk groups in design, and creating safe spaces for marginalized voices.
• Climate change impacts are experienced differently based on social identity and resource dependence; for example, women fishers face greater impacts from declining fish stocks due to limited access to boats and equipment, and people with disabilities face higher risks during floods due to difficulties accessing essential services.
