Cities are an extremely valuable aspect of nature-based solutions, as they are not only where majority of the world’s population lives, but where there is the most capacity for building urban adaptation, climate change mitigation, community resilience, and building or greening sustainable urban centres.
UNFCCC COP25 is more complicated than ever. As youth, we face many barriers to participation in these high-level forums, one of the largest of which is an explanation on how it all works. Meaningful climate action attempts to break down barriers like these, which is why we’re sharing some guiding resources on the who, what, how, and why of COP.
This group of four is working on a volunteer basis to direct public attention towards Natural Climate Solutions and to champion the work of others. Their mission is to catalyse global enthusiasm for drawing down carbon by restoring ecosystems: the single most undervalued and underfunded tool for climate mitigation.
