The objective of this publication is to assess how well existing interventions in China that incorporate the use and management of ecosystems and ecosystem services align with best practice norms of Nature-based  Solutions (NbS). This is explored through ten case studies of established interventions and retroactively assessing how well they align with the Nature-based Solutions Global Standard.

Recent developments have seen forest landscape restoration (FLR) become widely recognized as an important means of not only restoring ecological integrity at scale but also generating additional local-to-global benefits. This handbook presents the Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), which provides a flexible and affordable framework for countries to rapidly identify and analyse FLR potential and locate special areas of opportunity at a national or sub-national level.

This report has been prepared as part of an effort by IUCN to define its position on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and plan for future work to advance this concept and support effective implementation of NbS to enhance ecosystem services provision and address societal challenges. The report proposes a definitional framework for NbS, including a set of general principles for any NbS intervention.

Recientes informes internacionales importantes han puesto de relieve el impacto alarmante de los sistemas de producción de alimentos sobre el cambio climático, las tierras y la biodiversidad.

Les principaux rapports internationaux récents ont mis en évidence l’impact alarmant des systèmes de production alimentaire sur les changements climatiques, les terres et la biodiversité.

Recent major international reports have highlighted the alarming impact of food production systems on climate change, land and biodiversity. This report shows that common ground between the agriculture and conservation sectors for mutually beneficial action exists, and that there is great potential for widespread adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that can meet our needs for food, feed, fibre, and energy.
