Understanding the Interplay: Nature-based Solutions, Biodiversity Conservation, and Climate Mitigation

Aktivitet: Föredrag eller presentationPresentation

Beskrivning

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are recognized as a promising strategy to tackle biodiversity loss and climate change. NbS involves sustainable management of natural and semi-natural ecosystems to achieve multiple benefits for nature and
society. However, the link between biodiversity and climate mitigation through carbon sequestration in NbS is often overlooked. The work presented here explores literature on NbS, identifies gaps in understanding the functional biodiversity's role in such solutions, and introduces a conceptual framework to clarify links between biodiversity components of NbS. We review their mechanistic implications for carbon sequestration, resilience for carbon storage, and conservation values. We synthesize information from ecological theory and validate the framework using examples from mixed species forests and agroforestry. The framework provides a guide for policies to address climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation objectives through sustainable land use.
