About

This side event follows the session on Nature-based Solutions on the morning of the 26th of May. It will look cross-thematically at the Global Platform’s themes and address how Nature-based solutions can contribute to the implementation of the Sendai Framework 2015-2030 and what is still needed at country level. It will also look at what is needed beyond the current framework.

This in-person side event will discuss:

  • The importance of Nature-based Solutions during response and recovery after a disaster.
  • The financing modalities available for Nature-based Solutions.
  • The importance of monitoring and reporting on ecosystem (critical green infrastructure) loss in the Sendai Framework Monitor and how this might be done under targets C and D.

    Session Objectives

  • Promote the importance of Nature-based Solutions in humanitarian contexts.
  • Discuss financing for Nature-based Solutions and the role of Multilateral Development Banks.
  • Identify how to report on Green Infrastructure under targets C and D of the Sendai Framework.
