The loss of habitat for economic activities and other human needs continues to negatively impact wildlife, biodiversity and the traditional lands and waters of Indigenous peoples. Development and disruption of natural habitats also contributes to the climate crisis.
Nature-based climate solutions combat that crisis by protecting habitats and expanding natural carbon sinks like oceans, forests, peat bogs, and wetlands. This also prevents wildlife loss and provides resilience against climate impacts such as sea-level rise, river flooding, extreme fire weather and desertification.
