Using nature to solve environmental damage caused by humans can work on a local level, but can nature-based solutions be scaled up enough to address climate change?

Nature can provide solutions to problems such as biodiversity loss and climate change. But the best nature-based solutions are resilient to disturbance such as fire or drought and future change.
A large-scale study proves that trees absorb methane through their bark, with climate benefits at a global scale.
With the climate heating up rapidly, African cities must green every space to cool down and absorb more rain water, minimising floods. Nature-based solutions can make a huge difference.
Ontario’s recent flooding reminds us of the fragility of our buildings and infrastructure, and the importance of nature-based solutions in designing more resilient communities.
