Resilience as the Middle Ground: Aligning NbS and Adaptation Communities
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and climate adaptation represent two emerging areas of practice, evidence, and policy — and feature as key themes for COP26. The two fields have clear synergies, but they also have significant gaps and areas to bridge. Mainstreaming and upscaling NbS for adaptation will require coordination between the NbS and adaptation communities, as well as inclusion of and alignment with the finance community, to find the NbS-adaptation “middle ground”.
This event at the COP26 Water Pavilion builds upon an ongoing program of work from WRI addressing this very challenge and include global panelists and innovative cases in NbS, adaptation, and finance.
