Abstract

Ecosystem resilience is a critical factor in addressing the escalating impacts of climate change. This paper explores nature-based solutions (NbS) that leverage natural processes and ecosystems to enhance resilience while simultaneously mitigating climate change. We examine a range of NbS, including afforestation, wetland restoration, and sustainable agricultural practices, highlighting their effectiveness in sequestering carbon, protecting biodiversity, and maintaining ecosystem services. By integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern scientific approaches, NbS can provide multifaceted benefits, contributing to both climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. The paper also discusses the socio-economic implications of implementing NbS, emphasizing the importance of community involvement and equitable access to resources. Ultimately, fostering ecosystem resilience through nature-based solutions presents a promising pathway for sustainable climate action, promoting a harmonious relationship between human activities and the natural world.
