There is an urgent need to draw lessons learned about the factors that matter most in the design of effective, inclusive, and sustainable nature-based climate solutions. This is especially important now that funding for climate implementation is beginning to flow. Knowledge providers, policymakers, practitioners, and decision-makers need significantly improved climate risk information, policy interventions and sustainable solutions that can reliably address emerging challenges. The session will draw successes and challenges from a diverse array of initiatives, including innovative research and solutions, successes, and failures, representing viewpoints from practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and civil society working on multiple sectors.
