Nature-based solutions to climate change – when natural ecosystems are restored to sequester carbon – have gained significant political traction recently, given that they could provide around 30% of the global cost-effective mitigation required by 2030 to limit warming to below 2°C. This concept can seem abstract when in policy and political debates. The RSPB webinar will bring nature-based solutions to life, giving you the opportunity to hear from conservation practitioners working on the ground. You'll discover first-hand how significant climate change mitigation and adaptation benefits can be achieved alongside biodiversity conservation, right here in the UK.
The UK has a diverse mosaic of natural landscapes, and has the potential to lead the progressive development of NbS globally. Speakers will share examples of NbS across UK landscapes, with a particular focus on peatlands, woodland and coasts.
Speakers:
• Kate Hanley - RSPB Dove Stone Site Manager
• Jeremy Roberts - Cairngorms Connect Programme Manager
• Leigh Lock - RSPB Project Development Manager
• (Chair) Martin Harper - RSPB Global Conservation Director
