This session included presentations and discussions on the following topics:
Mainstreaming & Upscaling Nature-based Solutions
There was an in-depth discussion with international leaders in Mexico, India and the Netherlands on the future of initiatives that bring nature as a partner to build resilience. What have we learned over the last 10 years? What are the current main barriers? And, what needs to happen in financing, building local capacities, and ramping up technical expertise on nature-based solutions?
The panel discussion included the participation of Henk Nieboer of EcoShape, Jan Willem den Besten of International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Netherlands, Nitin Jain of the Global Center on Adaptation, Celia Elizabeth Pigueron Wirz of The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and Jakolien Leenders of HKV.
