From COP29 - Nature-based solutions and ecosystem restoration for effective climate change adaptation and mitigation

Hosted in the German Pavilion at COP29, this session highlighted the role of water and freshwater ecosystems for climate action as one key variable for the health of ecosystems as well as for adaptation and mitigation needs and approaches. Following a high-level input from German Environment Minister Steffi Lemke, an expert panel including AGWA’s Ingrid Timboe discussed how we can scale both nature restoration and nature-based climate change adaptation and mitigation, to harness much needed synergies.
