Contributions of Nature-Based Solutions to Reduce Peoples’ Vulnerabilities to Climate Change across the Rural Global South
November 2023We analyse 85nature-based interventions across the rural Global South, and factors mediating their effectiveness,based on a systematic map of peer-reviewed studies encompassing a wide diversity of ecosystems,climate impacts, and intervention types

The Role of Nature-Based Solutions in Supporting Social-Ecological Resilience for Climate Change Adaptation
September 2022Social-ecological systems underpinning nature-based solutions (NbS) must be resilient to changing conditions if NbS are to contribute to long-term climate change adaptation. We develop a two-part conceptual framework linking social-ecological resilience to adaptation outcomes in NbS.

Nature-based Solutions in Bangladesh: Evidence of Effectiveness for Addressing Climate Change and Other Sustainable Development Goals
November 2021Many lower-income countries are highly vulnerable to the impacts of natural disasters and climate change, due to their geographical location and high levels of poverty. In response, they are developing climate action plans that also support their sustainable development goals, but conventional adaptation approaches such as hard flood defenses can be expensive and unsustainable.

Ensuring Nature-based Solutions support both biodiversity and climate change adaptation
October 2021To better understand the biodiversity outcomes of NbS implemented for climate change adaptation. Although nature-based solutions (NbS) should by definition support biodiversity, not all projects framed as NbS have been shown to achieve this in practice.

Tackling climate change with nature-based solutions in Bangladesh
October 2021Nature-based solutions are a vital tool for climate change adaptation. Our review found robust evidence that they can provide resilient and effective protection from climate risks while also supporting sustainable development and enhancing biodiversity.
Report/Brief -
Reducing people’s vulnerability to climate change in the rural Global South using Nature-based Solutions
October 2021To implement nature-based solutions such as ecosystem restoration. Our research shows that such actions can help reduce people's vulnerability to climate change impacts across a diversity of social and environmental contexts
Report/Brief -
Can Nature-Based Solutions Deliver a Win-Win for Biodiversity and Climate Change Adaptation?
October 2021We conducted a systematic review of the outcomes of 109 nature-based interventions for climate change adaptation using 33 indicators of ecosystem health across eight broad categories (e.g. diversity, biomass, ecosystem functioning and population dynamics).

Investing in Nature for Development
August 2021We need to put the protection and restoration of nature at the heart of the healing and recovery of human society from the ravages of the pandemic
Report/Brief -
Getting the message right on nature-based solutions to climate change
December 2020Here, we discuss the promise and pitfalls of the NbS framing and its current political traction, and we present recommendations on how to get the message right.

Mapping the effectiveness of nature‐based solutions for climate change adaptation
June 2020To enable NbS policy and practice to be better informed by science, we produced the first global systematic map of evidence on the effectiveness of nature-based interventions for addressing the impacts of climate change and hydrometeorological hazards on people.

Grounding nature-based climate solutions in sound biodiversity science
February 2019The current narrow focus on aforestation in climate policy runs the risk of compromising long-term carbon storage, human adaptation and eforts to preserve biodiversity. An emphasis on diverse, intact natural ecosystems — as opposed to fast-growing tree plantations — will help nations to deliver Paris Agreement goals and much more.
