Briefing Room 18.09.23

This open letter is calling on GST Parties who have made public global commitments through the Leaders Pledge for Nature, Paris Agreement and the Global Biodiversity Framework, to publicly share plans, budgets and regulatory reforms on how they will implement and finance nature-based solutions (NbS).
A recent update of Nature4Climate’s NbS Commitment Tracker has found that more than half (52.5%) of all commitments tracked have published little to no evidence of progress and only 14 out of 127 commitments (11%) have language or specific initiatives mentioning Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs).
In a recent evaluation of global policies, Nature4Climate in partnership with Arboretica uncovered startling statistics about the allocation of budgets for nature-based solutions (NbS). The findings, powered by advanced artificial intelligence, indicate that a mere 12% of policies worldwide have dedicated budgets for NbS implementation.
In the next decade, nature can provide one third of the solution to climate change.
