MET5: Transformative Nature-Based Solutions for building climate resilience and addressing environmental challenges
Climate change is exerting profound and far-reaching effects on socioecological systems worldwide. This global phenomenon affects various ecosystems, from terrestrial to aquatic, with significant consequences for biodiversity, natural resource availability, and the well-being of human societies. The challenges posed by climate change are multifaceted. They include rising global temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, more frequent and severe weather events (such as floods, heatwaves, droughts, wildfires), shifts in species distributions, and disruptions to ecosystem services. These changes not only jeopardize the ecological integrity of natural systems but also have cascading effects on societies that rely on these systems for food, water, and livelihoods. Moreover, current risks are on a trajectory of escalation, with projections indicating not only a further increase in intensity and frequency, but also the emergence of new ones. In this evolving landscape, a systemic transition to increase climate resilience is imperative. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) offer innovative and holistic approaches for mitigating and adapting to climate change, fostering sustainable socio-ecological systems, and enhancing the well-being of different communities. In this context, we explore the transformative potential and enabling conditions for NBS in building climate resilience and simultaneously benefiting the society, environment and economy. In this setting, this session invites presentations that explore innovative approaches and applications highlighting the integration of NBS in pathways towards climate resilience. By leveraging cutting-edge digital tools and models to evaluate and predict the multi-hazard risk mitigation role and effectiveness of NBS across scales, this session embraces a holistic perspective that considers both the natural and societal dimensions of the analysed environments. This session is looking for examples to foster discussions that advance our collective understanding on effective and sustainable adaptation practices in socio-ecological systems.
