Get inspired with real nature-based, community-led action on the ground.

Natural Climate Solutions are ready to be deployed now, across the globe. From south to north, east to west, people have been taking action and leading the way to unlock the power of nature for our collective future.

The Nature in Action series is a naturebase collaboration with community-led filmmakers from If Not Us Then Who? to showcase stories of individuals and communities at the forefront of nature protection and recovery. The episodes emphasize successful implementation of nature-based solutions projects and the strong leadership of Indigenous Peoples and local communities. These stories effectively bridge science, policy, and action, positively influencing climate discussions and decision-making for impactful nature-based action, using naturebase data.

Unlocking the potential: N4C launches interactive database showing opportunities for high-integrity nature-based projects

Nature4Climate unveiled the beta version of naturebase, a free platform designed for policymakers, practitioners, and other decision-makers to identify strategies for implementing impactful nature-based projects, covering climate mitigation, biodiversity preservation, and livelihood enhancement across global, national, and subnational scales.

Ghana

From Peru to Ghana: how technology is transforming community reforestation

Follow Peruvian activist Betty Rubio’s trip to Ghana to share her expertise in monitoring and reporting technologies for reforestation and native plant growing in the Bowkrom Community.

Indonesia

Wetlands for livelihoods: how local communities thrive in protecting mangroves and peatlands in Borneo

Dedicated to restoring the Teluk Semanting Mangrove, the village embraces the mantra: "more mangroves, more blessings," as they plant Rhizophora seedlings. Indonesia holds the third-highest potential globally for climate sequestration through Natural Climate Solutions. Protecting Indonesia's remaining wetland ecosystems is crucial for meeting greenhouse gas emissions goals by the end of the decade, all while serving as a vital source of income for local communities.

Panama

Panama: The Return of an Ancestral Forest

Follow the Embera People in their efforts to restore 90 hectares in Panama, planting 90,000 native species and implementing strategies such as avoiding forest conversion, reforestation, and agroforestry, while rewarding ancestral knowledge through carbon credits.

Introducing naturebase: a new tool to scale up natural climate solutions for reaching our global goals

Knowing precisely why, where and how to put nature into action can help attract the much-needed funding and policy action that will enable successful implementation and scale-up of natural climate solutions across the globe. Naturebase integrates an array of data and information acquired through various technologies, including satellite data analysis and land system modelling, as well as machine learning, to show exactly why, where and how.

Natural Climate Solutions must be nature-based, sustainable, climate-additional, measurable, and equitable, new study finds.

Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) play a role in both short- and long-term climate change mitigation together with vital benefits for biodiversity and people alike. Scientists across several organisations have now agreed on five principles that outline what and how these actions must be implemented.

Dominican Republic

Water resilience: resisting the tide in the Dominican Republic

Nature is a fundamental element of survival in coastal countries, especially in the Caribbean, where communities rely on the well-being of ecosystems like forests, reefs, and mangroves for protection and economic sustainability. In the Dominican Republic, scientists and local organizations are actively collaborating to develop innovative solutions that enhance resilience and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Tanzania

Nature and community-based solutions: how carbon revenues transformed land use and management in Tanzania

Indigenous communities in Tanzania are making history by selling high-integrity carbon credits, recognizing their millennia-long dedication to preserving East Africa's forests. With 60% of the revenue managed by these communities, funds are reinvested in health, education, and local business development, showcasing the transformative impact of nature-positive initiatives.
