Climate Conversations: Nature-Based Solutions
April 27 | 3:00PM – 4:15PM ET
Join us for a discussion about how to better work with nature to build climate resilience and support human well-being and ecosystems.
Nature-based solutions such as restoring wetlands, planting trees in cities, and using cover crops can cost-effectively make communities more resilient to the impacts of climate change, as well as provide over a third of the mitigation needed to achieve the 2030 targets of the Paris Agreement. And while conservation groups; federal, state and local agencies; international organizations; and the private sector have begun integrating nature-based solutions into their work, they are not yet utilized to their full potential. Join us for a conversation about the role of nature-based solutions and the challenges and opportunities in leveraging these approaches to address the climate crisis. Speakers will be announced soon.
The webinar will be webcast on the Climate Conversations: Nature-Based Solutions webpage on Thursday, April 27, 2023 from 3-4:15pm ET. Closed captioning will be provided. The conversation will include questions from the audience and will be recorded and available to view on the page after the event.
