Key Barriers to Advancing Climate Change Adaptation through Nature-based Solutions

This series of briefs illustrates some major interconnected gaps and barriers that hinder enhanced integration of NbS in climate change adaptation policies and practice. Each brief identifies key questions to stimulate discussion in a series of regional technical dialogues among stakeholders. Participants in these dialogues will include government decision makers, practitioners and civil society representatives working on NbS and climate change adaptation. These participants will be requested to validate and add to findings from the analysis. They will also jointly identify context-appropriate solutions that can help address the gaps and barriers. They will inform efforts to develop a platform that supports mainstreaming and enhances use of NbS for climate change adaptation.
