Background: nature-based solutions and b • Table.Briefings

Preserving forests in developing countries, such as here in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is a so-called nature-based solution to climate change.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) and biodiversity conservation are increasingly discussed in the context of climate action. But what does this mean for the climate negotiations at COP28 in Dubai?

Here’s what it’s about:

Regenerative agriculture, re-wetting of moors or large-scale afforestation – all these fall under the category of „Nature-Based Solutions“ (NBS). The idea is to use nature to advance climate solutions and build resilience. Many approaches also focus on how ecosystem services can be financially compensated, known as Payments for Ecosystem Services. The concept of NBS has been around for a while, but it gained prominence in climate negotiations since COP26 in Glasgow.
