Project Summary / Description:

Benefits of sustainable land management practices can help maintain soil fertility, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, avoid further ecosystem degradation, avoid land use change that increases emissions and diminishes carbon sinks, ensure equitable distribution of value and strengthen land rights
Rural depopulation can also increase the carbon sink capacity. When human pressure decreases in rural areas, vegetation restoration can increase.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

NbS can enable populations that face socio-economic, cultural, and political barriers to build their adaptive capacity, realize their rights, and participate in adaptation decision making while also strengthening the resilience of the ecosystems that sustain their livelihoods
The organization employs youth and women that are of disadvantaged in the society.
Variations in extreme weather events due to climate change can negatively impact crop yields, decreasing income and food insecurity for women and their families.
To maximize their benefits, it is crucial that NBS programs adopt an inclusive approach that engages and empowers communities, especially those who have traditionally been excluded or marginalized. This approach involves recognizing and respecting local knowledge and practices, promoting equity, and ensuring that the benefits of nature-based solutions are distributed fairly. By doing so, we can not only achieve climate change adaptation and carbon sequestration targets but also create jobs, improve food security, and enhance the well-being of local communities. Inclusive nature-based solutions are not only the right thing to do but more importantly, the smart thing to do!
