IUCN: Nature-based Solutions for Recovery

As the leading organisation on Nature-based Solutions for Societal Challenges (NbS), IUCN is working with its members and partners across the world in making NbS a central component for national Post-COVID19 recovery plans and policy frameworks. Capitalising on NbS for recovery can also enhance pathways and positive impacts for addressing the climate crisis as well as biodiversity loss crisis. IUCN's ambition is to work with its 91 state members in achieving cross-sectoral policy alignments, whereby NbS can be leveraged at scale for multiple, simultaneous benefits for people and nature.

As part of this commitment, IUCN will be hosting two Ministerial panels on NbS for Recovery on 3rd of March, the first taking place at 7am - 8am GMT and the afternoon session taking place 1pm - 2pm GMT. 10 state members will join IUCN's Director General, Dr Bruno Oberle, in 2 lively and engaging discussions on what is being achieved and what more can be done to leverage the power of NbS for recovery.
