Webinar  "Nature-Based Solutions & Water Resilience"

Latin America and Caribbean UNGC Local Networks

Promote a debate around Nature-Based Solutions and launch the Portuguese version of the publication “Benefit Accounting of NBS"

CONTEXTNature-based solution (NBS) can improve degraded ecosystems, help sequester carbon, and manage the effects of climate change, including extreme weather events. Businesses are beginning to recognize the value of NBS for climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. But NBS is underutilized in the business sector, partly because of a lack of frameworks and tools for identifying the benefits and for monetizing the full scope of co-benefits provided by NBS projects.The publication “Benefit Accounting of Nature-Based Solutions for Watersheds Landscape Assessment” examines contemporary thinking around NBS and provides business case studies and interviews, towards a thorough understanding of the key opportunities and challenges of NBS for businesses. The report was produced by the UN Global Compact’s CEO Water Mandate, which the Pacific Institute serves as Co-Secretariat for, in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy and Danone S.A. Now, through the initiative of Global Compact Network Brazil and The Nature Conservancy Brazil, this report can be accessed in Portuguese.(Source: https://pacinst.org/publication/benefit-accounting-nbs/ )EVENT INFORMATIONDate: December 4th , 2020Time: 2 pm to 3:30 pm (BRT time) / 9:00-10:30AM PTPlace: online (zoom platform)Link to the live stream on YouTube:https://youtu.be/ezjq6z8qMmE Language: English / Portuguese (We will provide simultaneous translation)Virtual launch of the publication: Benefit Accounting of Nature-Based Solutions for Watersheds Landscape Assessment
