Abstract:
  • The document highlights the increasing frequency and intensity of climate-related disasters and the urgent need for climate action. It emphasizes the role of nature-based solutions (NbS) in addressing these challenges by protecting, conserving, restoring, and sustainably managing ecosystems. NbS aim to provide human well-being and environmental benefits, building resilience for communities affected by crises. The document outlines the IFRC's commitment to implementing NbS through its Climate and Environment Charter, Plan and Budget 2021-2025, and the Global Climate Resilience Platform. Key messages include adopting a 'do no harm' approach, working with nature to reduce disaster risk, promoting locally-led NbS, fostering cross-sectoral partnerships, and addressing the financing gap for NbS. The document calls for increased support, collaboration, and innovative financing to scale up NbS in humanitarian contexts.
