Nature-based Solutions for ecological conservation and restoration explored at CBD COP15 in China

Kunming, China (香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播) 鈥 China鈥檚 Ministry of Natural Resources, together with 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播, organised an event, 鈥淣ature-based Solutions for Ecological Conservation and Restoration,鈥 as part of the Ecological Civilisation Forum during the Convention on Biological Diversity Conference of the Parties 15th meeting (CBD COP15) held in October in Kunming, China.

Jointly organised by the Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences and 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播, the event exploring Nature-based Solutions (NbS) was attended by more than 100 delegates from international organisations, national authorities, scientific institutions, local communities, NGOs and enterprises as well as other related fields.

During the event, Mr聽Ren Junsheng, Vice Governor of Yunnan Province, Mr聽Stewart Maginnis, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Deputy Director General and Mr聽Zhang Zhanhai, Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Natural Resources delivered keynote speeches. In addition, Mr聽Zhang Xinsheng, former President of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播, Prof. Fu Bojie, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ms聽Maria Helena Semdo, Deputy Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Dr聽Emmanuelle Cohen-Shacham, Lead of the NbS Thematic Group of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 Commission on Ecosystem Management, and Dr聽Luo Ming, Deputy Director of Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Center, also delivered technical reports on NbS, ecological protection and restoration.聽

Mr聽Zhang Zhanhai said: 鈥淐hina boasts a good stage for the practice of NbS, because it coincides with President Xi Jinping's notion on ecological civilisation and the Chinese鈥 ecological and cultural traditions in many ways, including its objectives in addressing societal challenges such as climate change mitigation;聽its integrated consideration of the relationships among economic, social and ecological systems;聽and, its comprehensive approach of seeking synergy between socioeconomic returns and eco-environmental benefits to promote the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature and maintain the ecological security of the earth.鈥

He also mentioned:聽鈥淭he MNR will adhere to the system-oriented concept by carrying out ecological restoration scientifically;聽collecting a number of representative case studies of NbS for learning; replicating and promoting them through the NbS Asia Hub to be established in cooperation with 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播;聽and, developing national NbS standards to continuously mainstream NbS.鈥

香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播's Mr Stewart Maginnis said: "Empirical evidence has proven that NbS is a powerful ally to address societal challenges through investing in conservation and restoration. In framing the definition, principles and Global Standard for NbS, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 drew heavily on the lessons from the rehabilitation of the Loess Plateau, demonstrating that nature truly is mankind鈥檚 ally. It shows that impoverished livelihoods can be enhanced, degraded landscapes restored and lost biodiversity recovered simultaneously.鈥

Mr聽Maginnis also suggested that China could play a leading role by advocating for the inclusion of NbS in the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and ensuring it is formally recognised by the Parties and, ultimately, that the world fully benefits from the proven contribution it can make to reversing biodiversity loss, enhancing livelihoods and optimising the equitable and sustainable use of nature.

During the event, experts from the World Economic Forum, UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Tsinghua University, the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, the Center for Satellite Application on Ecology and Environment of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Planning and Design Institute of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration and other institutions shared opinions and experiences on a range of topics, including biodiversity conservation, ecological conservation 'red lines', ecological restoration, among others.

In addition, a collection of case studies on ecological restoration in China was released at the event. MNR and 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 are looking for opportunities to make these case studies available in English, to ensure they contribute to the global NbS knowledge development through the NbS Asia Hub, which will be established in China.

Notes:

In 2012, the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 World Conservation Congress adopted the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Programme 2013-2016, making NbS one of the three global priorities of the Union. At the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Congress in 2016, a formal definition and list of principles were adopted in a resolution by the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Union. By 2020, following a two-year global consultation, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 launched the Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions, which was featured at the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Congress in September this year. 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 and MNR collaborated to officially release the Chinese version of the NbS Global Standard in 2021, and the principles of the Standard were also adopted by the Guidelines for Ecological Protection and Restoration Projects in Mountains, Rivers, Forests, Farmlands, Lakes and Grasslands, issued by MNR, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
