The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development of China's Tsinghua University jointly launched a program calling for Asian cases of "nature-based solutions" at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity in Montreal, Canada.
The program aims to collect nature-based solutions cases, which means cases that are using nature-based approaches, and that can achieve climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation through the protection, sustainable management, and the restoration of ecosystems.
“There is solid scientific evidence that nature and ecosystems have the potential to adapt and mitigate the climate crisis.”
Evidence of nature-based solutions in Asia will be presented at the 28th edition of the Conference of Parties (COP28) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Dubai next year.
