COP 28: Building a Resilient Future: Whole-Community Approaches to Nature-Based Solutions

Harnessing the power of nature-based solutions (NbS) that support climate mitigation and adaptation, reverse biodiversity loss, and produce social, economic, and environmental benefits is a growing priority for the international community.
The United States, through domestic action and via the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE), is leaning forward in partnership with international stakeholders to accelerate the implementation of whole-community approaches to NbS.
This session will raise NbS ambition, celebrate whole-community successes, and expand knowledge on NbS, while highlighting current and planned NbS initiatives and investments that contribute to building a resilient future for communities in the United States and abroad.
