The paper from the ENACT Partnership – which stands for Enhancing Nature-based Solutions for an Accelerated Climate Transformation – comes during what’s known as the “triple COP year” in 2024: the Conference of Parties for each of the three Rio Conventions. Those include UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification.

The COPs offer a critical moment for the global community to redouble and focus its efforts on fighting the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation. The 17-page paper synthesises recent scientific findings on NbS, highlighting their capacity to provide significant adaptation and mitigation benefits. It also advises that governments should:

• Integrate clear and measurable NbS targets into their national strategies under the three Rio Conventions.
• Scale up financing for NbS through dedicated funding plans that offer enhanced access to funding for chronically underserved and marginalised groups and do not compromise current financing under the Rio Conventions.
• Ensure full and inclusive participation in NbS planning and decision-making from Indigenous Peoples, local communities, women, youth, and other groups in vulnerable situations.

The ambitious global partnership, which was created in November 2022, aims to employ NbS to enhance the protection from and resilience to climate impacts of at least 1 billion vulnerable people, secure up to 2.4 billion hectares of ecosystem integrity, and significantly increase global mitigation efforts through protecting and restoring carbon-rich ecosystems.

It is co-chaired by Egypt and Germany and composed of 18 state and non-state actors including state members from all seven continents.
