Nature4Climate brings together organisations around the world in a joint effort to drive investment in and action on nature-based solutions.
Humanity cannot achieve the 1.5ºC target of the UN Climate Paris agreement without nature. It’s that simple and that important.
So we need to protect, restore, and sustainably manage our natural ecosystems and the people that live in them; and we need to do it now. It is in addition to the energy transition – we need to do both.
