Thematic Paper 3 explores the rise of nature-based solutions (NbS) as a unifying approach that connects nature conservation and ecosystem-based adaptation. NbS can help bridge policy areas, raise awareness of the value of nature, and foster collaboration across international frameworks and beyond the conservation sector. By working with nature, NbS can deliver social and economic benefits while supporting environmental goals.
