Sharing nature-based solutions for climate and biodiversity
Channel: IIED
Date: 2021-02-11

In 2020, we continued to improve evidence and stimulate dialogues on how people are working with nature to tackle three interlinked pressing global challenges: the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and poverty. 

We worked with partners around the world to support local communities including forest and farm producers to implement nature-based solutions and ensure those local change-makers are heard in international debates.

This video is part of a series produced for IIED's 2020 annual review, which lets our researchers and partners tell the story of how they continued to work together for a better future for all. 

All the videos were all recorded remotely from around the world and capture some of the key themes of 2020, from IIED's COVID-19 response, to working with young people and women in Tanzania, to protecting livelihoods and ecosystems in Myanmar, to changing the narrative around international investment treaties and their impacts on local communities around the world.
