- Nature-Based Solutions: A Path to Climate Resilience in Africa
The World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Bank have unveiled a groundbreaking report evaluating the impact of nature-based solutions (NbS) across Africa. The assessment highlights how NbS can enhance climate resilience, improve biodiversity, and support sustainable economic development across the continent.
According to the report, initiatives such as reforestation, wetland restoration, and sustainable agriculture play a crucial role in addressing environmental challenges while benefiting local communities. The study also identifies key policy recommendations and investment opportunities for governments and stakeholders.
Experts emphasize that integrating nature-based solutions into national policies will not only combat climate change but also boost food security, water management, and disaster risk reduction in Africa. The report serves as a call to action for increased collaboration and funding to maximize the benefits of nature-driven strategies.
