Webinar by the Local Authority Heritage Officer network on nature-based solutions for heritage and climate, held 10th February 2022.

Nature is “one of the most effective ways” of combatting climate change - Inger Andersen, UNEP.

Nature-based solutions are actions that protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems. They address societal challenges, thereby simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits.
