This document discusses accelerating climate initiatives through nature-based solutions. It highlights how nature-based solutions can provide environmental and social benefits while enhancing sustainability. Examples are given such as mangrove belt recovery for coastal protection and coral rehabilitation for wave mitigation. The overall goal is to build the business case for investing in nature-based approaches to address climate change challenges like mitigation, adaptation, resilience, and risk reduction.
