Good practices for increasing the application of Nature-based solutions and ecosystem-based approaches for disaster risk reduction

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction together with the Group of Twenty launched a new report that presents cases that provide compelling documentation that NbS offer multifaceted benefits, including conservation of biodiversity, climate change mitigation and adaptation, enhanced disaster resilience, and socioeconomic development. The cases presented here provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and versatility of NbS, underscoring that working with nature is key to the successful implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 and related frameworks and agendas, including the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
