The Nature-based Solutions (NbS) Group of SBCOP has the central goal of promoting the consolidation of NbS as essential infrastructure for the global climate transition, especially as an immediate mitigation tool on the path to a net-zero economy. The group recognizes that NbS should not discourage the decarbonization of global production chains, but rather complement it, and play an indispensable role in removing unavoidable emissions from the atmosphere. To this end, the group proposes policy recommendations and showcases success stories across three key areas. The first is the development of integrated assessment standards for NbS, enabling appropriate measurement for each biome and standardized practices in the market, while also accounting for the multiple ecosystem benefits of NbS, which are currently undervalued. The second focuses on the integration of NbS credits into compliance carbon markets, through well-established acceptance criteria and regulatory alignment between national tools and mechanisms under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The third aims to ensure broad recognition of the role of NbS as legitimate, scalable, and socially just solutions to climate and sustainable development challenges.
