About Us
Who we are
Nature4Climate (N4C) is a coalition of organizations across the environmental sector, all dedicated to helping raise the profile of nature as a solution for a more sustainable, equitable and nature-positive future.
Our goal is to accelerate the implementation of nature-based solutions (NbS) on a global scale, using communications, advocacy and movement building to catalyse government action and private sector investment into the protection, restoration and sustainable management of ecosystems. The ultimate objective is to unlock nature’s full climate potential to mitigate 10 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually by 2030.
What we want
We cannot achieve the 1.5ºC target of the UN Climate Paris agreement without nature. It’s that simple and that important.
We need to protect, restore, and sustainably manage our natural ecosystems while supporting the people that live in them. This is a crucial task that needs to be undertaken alongside decarbonization and the energy transition – we need to do all of these things.
The Nature4Climate coalition works to contribute to this goal by sharing policy guidance, scientific data, key resources and inspiring stories of communities leading nature-based solutions (NbS) projects on the ground. We also lead collective campaigns and advocacy, flagship events, and strategic partnerships with stakeholders such as investors, financial institutions, corporates, and civil society groups to accelerate investments and implementation of high-integrity NbS projects.
Our primary objective is to build the case for nature-based climate solutions with key decision makers by championing five essential strategic contributions towards a nature breakthrough:
Nature4Climate leads global unbranded communications and advocacy campaigns designed to mainstream the idea of a nature positive world alongside net zero, and to place nature-based solutions at the heart of climate action during key decision-making moments such as major global conferences and regional climate weeks.
By 2025, at COP 30, the parties and signatories of the Paris Agreement will present their final revised NDCs. We are advocating for these NDCs to incorporate nature-based solutions (NbS) that can deliver up to 10 MtCO2 per year and enhance resilience and adaptation for both people and nature, further contributing to achieving the targets set by the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).
To achieve this, N4C tracks and measures the increasing public ambition for NbS, while continuing to advocate to place nature at the heart of government decision making. We also champion the implementation of policies and public budgets that facilitate the delivery of high-quality NbS for the benefit of people and nature.
From international organizations to national governments and local communities, people are deploying good practices and addressing lessons learned in every region of the planet. N4C links science, policy-making and case studies to tell stories of projects that consider protection, restoration, and improved land management actions in forests, wetlands, grasslands, and agricultural lands. By supporting community-led approaches and amplifying local voices, N4C aims to bring their expertise at the forefront of discussions and media coverage. This inclusive approach fosters a deeper understanding of solutions relevant to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), respects cultural contexts, and tackles diverse climate challenges.
N4C coordinates intelligence sharing and unbranded communications focused on addressing common misconceptions around nature-based solutions, including facilitating discussions around carbon markets and results-based payments, as well as supporting the ‘nature tech’ movement to back investments and acceleration of high-integrity NbS projects.
A transformation of the global economy is essential for its harmonious operation with nature and climate. The goal is to accomplish this transition by 2030, incentivising activities that eradicate deforestation and land degradation. This means scaling up finance towards sustainable commodity production, and maintaining dialogue with financial institutions, corporations, and decision makers about NbS projects’ opportunities and altering investment portfolios. To unlock these private resources to nature, N4C promotes events, reports, opinion articles and campaigns that also emphasize key messages related to shifting finance away from driving deforestation and primary land-use conversion.
Past campaigns
#NatureNow
The nature-based solutions movement needs to speak, wherever possible, with one voice — to achieve our collective goals at the UN Climate Action Summit and beyond.
Who's with us
Nature4Climate brings together organizations around the world in a joint effort to drive investment, build trust and accelerate the implementation at scale of nature-based solutions on the ground.
