Leveraging Nature-Based Solutions for Sustainable Development
The rapid and often unplanned urbanization witnessed worldwide has led to increased pressure on the environment. This vast urbanization has only continued to increase the earth’s atmosphere warming at a rate that is likely to lead to significant climate change. Climate change is neither new nor unusual; it has existed long before humanity. Seasonal changes, ice ages, and Milankovitch cycles have constantly altered the Earth’s climate.

Human activities such as severe deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels have played a major role in global warming. In an era of escalating environmental challenges and growing concerns about climate change, Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) have emerged as a compelling strategy for addressing both sustainable development and environmental conservation. NbS leverages the power of ecosystem goods and services to provide innovative solutions that not only mitiga...
