Over the course of three days, this event will convene interdisciplinary researchers alongside practitioners and decision-makers from both the public and private sectors, as well as Indigenous representatives from across the globe. The primary focus is to engage in discussions and collaborative efforts aimed at formulating an action plan for nature-based solutions that foster positive social and environmental transformations.
The conference will scrutinize the evidence supporting the advantages of nature-based solutions, extending beyond carbon capture. Specific attention will be given to their impact on human and ecological health, climate change adaptation, responses to humanitarian crises, and enhancement of food security. Additionally, the conference will address the role of adaptive management in building resilience and explore strategies for managing uncertainties related to the socio-ecological outcomes of nature-based solutions.
Moreover, the event will delve into the necessity of aligning governance, markets, and finance to collectively support nature-based solutions. This includes discussions on transforming the economy to amplify, rather than undermine, the intricate web of life. As a final exploration, the conference will investigate the potential health benefits associated with a nature-based approach and explore ways to revive a meaningful human connection with nature.
