Nature Based Solutions To Address The Climate Crisis

From coastal storms and flooding to droughts, landslides and extreme heat, communities around the world face growing climate-related risks.

💡 On this #InternationalDayforDisasterRiskReduction, we highlight the importance of integrating Nature-Based Solutions into disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation strategies.

Nature-Based Solutions can help reduce these risks by protecting, restoring and sustainably managing ecosystems.

🌊 Coasts: Mangroves, coastal wetlands and coral reefs can help reduce the impacts of storm surges and coastal flooding.
⛰ Mountains, forests and watersheds: Healthy forests can help stabilise soils, reduce erosion and regulate water flows.
💧 Rivers and wetlands: Restored wetlands and floodplains can absorb and temporarily store floodwaters.
🌾 Farmland: Agroforestry and improved soil management can strengthen resilience to drought and heavy rainfall.
🏙️ Cities: Urban green spaces, permeable surfaces and green infrastructure can help reduce heat and manage stormwater.
