Nature-based solutions for adaptation (NbS) can play a vital role in helping people and biodiversity build resilience to climate risks. Learn more about what effective NbS for adaptation are and their practical application across different ecosystems to strengthen their resilience.
G7 Energy Ministers Agree To Close Coal-Fired Generating Stations By 2035
