Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilient Cities

Climate impacts in Latin America and the Caribbean are increasing in frequency and intensity, with a high percentage of extreme events caused by climatic factors. Considering that a large part of the population lives in urban areas, the need to transform the planning of these zones to increase their resilience is becoming increasingly urgent.

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can be effective in enhancing the natural functions of ecosystems in urban areas, but they require long-term commitment and informed citizen participation. Achieving this transformation requires institutional frameworks, planning tools, inclusive processes, and a sustainable financial strategy, with a focus on local climate action in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Discover in this publication the different approaches of NbS for Latin American cities, as well as regional information, tools, and evidence to guide urban planning, strengthening long-term resilience planning and decision-making strategies.
