Nature provides all of these
and so much more…

Fundamental to our everyday lives, nature is our life support system.

It also has the power to help solve many of our problems.

From combating climate change to reducing health inequalities, nature-based solutions can help humanity flourish alongside nature.

To this end, we need to #HelpNatureHelpUs


Nature-based solutions can provide 37% of the emission reductions needed by 2030 to keep global warming under 2?C


What are nature-based solutions?

According to the IUCN, nature-based solutions are: actions to protect, sustainably manage and restore natural and modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously providing human wellbeing and biodiversity benefits.

In other words, they are ways that we can harness nature to help solve our problems whilst at the same time benefiting wildlife.

Nature is part of the solution...
