Why this work matters
Addressing the Interconnected Challenges of Climate, Nature, and Human Well-Being
Climate change, biodiversity loss, and declining ecosystem health are reshaping communities and landscapes around the world. Nature-based solutions - actions that address societal issues through nature - offer powerful tools to address these challenges while supporting human well-being. NPAC helps turn scientific knowledge around nature-based solutions into on-the-ground action by connecting researchers, communities, and decision-makers to design solutions that work for both people and nature.
