This project seeks to increase Nature-based Solutions (NbS) best practice, knowledge and capacities of climate change and biodiversity practitioners in developed and developing countries. Project activities include: (1) providing support for project design, implementation and monitoring; (2) improving climate change vulnerability and biodiversity assessments, baselines, targets and monitoring systems; (3) tracking and reporting on progress, global sharing of lessons learned; (4) monitoring implementation of corrective actions; tracking and reporting on progress of Canada’s NbS and biodiversity portfolio; and (5) capturing and synthesizing tools and lessons from the above activities at a portfolio level and widely sharing and promoting this information to NbS practitioners and other stakeholders. This project provides direct benefits to between 150 to 600 NbS for climate adaptation and biodiversity project staff, with subsequent impacts benefiting 500,000 to over 1,000,000 women and men in Sub-Saharan Africa and worldwide.
