Nature-based solutions for Asia and the Pacific
This brochure outlines how nature is being rapidly degraded and shows how ADB-designed nature-based solutions (NBS) can help protect vulnerable communities and ecosystems to make countries in Asia and the Pacific more climate resilient.
With over half the region's economy dependent on nature, this brochure highlights the climate benefits of ecosystem services and the potential impacts if they continue to be eroded. It shows why ADB takes a cross-sectoral approach to designing NBS, provides examples of bankable solutions such as sponge cities, and explains how its pragmatic strategy involving financing and policy support fits into its climate change action plan.
