Countries face increasing environmental challenges associated with compounding risks: natural disasters push over 26 million people into poverty each year, biodiversity loss is accelerating, and unplanned urbanization increases exposure to hazards. Nature-based solutions use natural systems like forests and wetlands to enhance resilience, prevent erosion, stabilize slopes, protect roads from flooding, and support water management. When combined with traditional infrastructure, these solutions can cut costs, extend asset lifespans, and boost economic, social, and environmental benefits.
