1. Enhance knowledge and awareness of nature-based disaster risk reduction solutions among decision makers, natural resource managers and local communities with a specific focus on gender; this includes strengthening the knowledge base on the state of ecosystems and community vulnerability in the Western Balkans in the face of climate change.
2. Integration of Nature-based Solutions and equitable climate-smart planning into adaptation and disaster reduction policy; this will entail supporting planning processes at various levels for the recognition of ecosystem-based approaches as opportunities that help governments meet multiple goals related to climate change.
3. Implementation of Nature-based Solutions for disaster risk reduction and their scale-up, including demonstration of the value of ecosystem-based approaches in reducing vulnerability by piloting Nature-based Solutions in selected landscapes in the Western Balkans.
