What are Nature Based Solutions?

Nature-based solutions address societal challenges by restoring and managing ecosystems to benefit both people and the environment. For businesses, adopting nature-based solutions into their value chain is urgent for tackling climate change, nature loss, and water management and security, and for staying ahead in an evolving policy landscape. These solutions are not only sustainable but also cost-effective, offering long-term financial benefits by reducing risks and enhancing resilience.
