Nature-based solutions (NbS) provide an opportunity we cannot afford to miss to have a chance at averting the worst impacts of climate change and ending the destruction of natural ecosystems and their essential services. Encompassing a wide range of interventions for ecosystem conservation, management and restoration, NbS will play an essential role to achieve the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement. This tool presents an assessment of integration of nature and nature-based solutions in NDCs, and finds a positive overall trend in terms of the recognition of nature. Further, it provides recommendations for UNFCCC processes, for governments, and for NDC enhancement to strengthen climate action through increased incorporation of NbS into NDCs.
