WCC 2016 Rec 107 - Progress Report

IUCN, in collaboration with several of its members and partners, continued to draw attention to the important role that nature-based solutions can play in addressing climate change, and called for states and other actors to include them in their plans and strategies. This was seen, for example, in the technical submissions that IUCN made in collaboration with other members and partners on the topic during the 2018 Talanoa Dialogue process, and in its own interventions and key messages at the same and during UNFCCC SB48 and UNFCCC COP24. IUCN also supported these through practical activities, such as the tools and guidelines that it helped prepare to enhance the uptake of ecosystem-based adaptation, both on the ground and at the policy level.
