Summary
This article outlines the UN Environment Programme's (UNEP) approach to nature-based solutions for addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource overexploitation. It highlights that protecting and restoring nature could reduce emissions by up to 11.7 gigatons of CO2 equivalent per year by 2030. Currently, about US$133 billion flows annually into nature-based solutions (86% public, 14% private), but more investment is needed. UNEP works with IUCN, FAO, and UNDP on ecosystem restoration, reforestation, climate-smart agriculture, the UN-REDD Programme, and national biodiversity action plans to support the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030.

· 3 pulledThere is no quick fix to the climate emergency and the overexploitation of natural resources.
By working with nature, emissions can be reduced by up to 11.7 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year by 2030, over 40 per cent of what is needed to limit global warming.
To unlock the full potential of nature and pave the way for the success of the United Nations Decade of Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030, greater investment is needed in what nature does best: self-healing.
