Abstract

Nature-based climate solutions (NbS) are widely available, scalable and cost-effective mechanisms to sequester carbon and safeguard Southeast Asia’s large carbon stocks. NbS additionally provide other benefits such as reducing haze, protecting biodiversity and shorelines, ecosystem services, and can provide economic opportunities through carbon credits and small-scale economies.
