Abstract: Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are a critical part of the transformation agenda for food and land use systems to deliver better prosperity for people and planet. NbS are actions in land-based and marine ecosystems to protect,sustainably manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively,simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits. There has been increasing attention to the role that land-based NbS play in climate change mitigation. Recent evidence suggests that the implementation of 20 different land-based solutions can provide around 30% of global mitigation needed to deliver the 1.5°C temperature target,whilst also securing the climate regulation function of the existing land sink. This report focuses specifically on these NbS measures – all of which restore,protect and manage natural ecosystems and shift how food is produced and consumed.
