Policy paper released on nature-based solutions and global climate protection

The German Environment Agency released a policy brief with findings from a study examining the role of NbS for global climate protection and in international climate policy considering their relevance for adaptation. It provides a critical assessment of global mitigation potentials of NbS in forests, grasslands, and terrestrial and coastal wetland, and provides recommendations for international climate policy. The results show that the potential of NbS to mitigate emissions is probably overestimated in the scientific literature due to various factors.
