Nature-Based Climate Solutions: Strategies for Carbon Sequestration and Building Resilience

Nature-Based Climate Solutions: Strategies for Carbon Sequestration and Building Resilience explores the vital role of natural ecosystems in the fight against climate change. This comprehensive guide delves into a range of nature-based solutions (NBS), from afforestation and reforestation to coastal ecosystem restoration, regenerative agriculture, and urban green infrastructure. Each chapter presents a detailed analysis of specific strategies, their carbon sequestration potential, and their co-benefits for biodiversity, water regulation, soil health, and disaster risk reduction. With a focus on practical implementation, the book offers insights into successful case studies worldwide, illustrating how NBS can simultaneously address climate mitigation and adaptation challenges. Readers will discover how integrating NBS into policy and planning can accelerate the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future. This book is an essential resource for policymakers, researchers, environmental practitioners, and anyone interested in harnessing the power of nature to combat climate change and build resilience.
