Nature-based solutions (NbS) to climate change--like forest restoration, soil carbon sequestration and other ecosystem management approaches--are increasingly essential to meet net-zero commitments and stave off catastrophic climate impacts. The market for these efforts is expected to surge following recent international agreements.
Join the conversation as experts from Abt and other organizations discuss the market potential for nature-based solutions, avenues for financing and scaling, standards for project accreditation, and measurement approaches to valuate NbS adaptation and resilience co-benefits.
