Adapt or Perish in Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities in Scaling Nature-Based Solutions

  Scaling nature-based solutions challenges and opportunities Challenges and Opportunities in Scaling Nature-Based Solutions Scaling nature-based solutions (NbS) is vital for addressing the global challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource scarcity. While NbS offers cost-effective and sustainable alternatives to engineered solutions, its large-scale implementation faces numerous challenges. Simultaneously, significant opportunities exist to overcome these barriers through innovative financing, policy integration, and community engagement. This section explores the key challenges and opportunities in scaling NbS, providing insights into how they can be mainstreamed into global climate adaptation efforts. Challenges in Scaling Nature-Based Solutions Despite their potential, NbS faces significant challenges in financing, implementation, and integration with broader development goals. Financial Constraints Many NbS projects lack adequate funding due to their r...
