Climate and Societal Interactions Division Nature-Based Solutions Webinar Series

This five-part webinar series features projects focused on the research and application of nature-based solutions (NbS). As a potential consideration for adapting to new climate conditions, nature-based solutions are actions to protect, sustainably manage, or restore natural or modified ecosystems to address societal challenges, simultaneously providing benefits for people and the environment.  

Projects featured in the webinars received funding from the Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) Division’s Adaptation Sciences (AdSci) and Climate Adaptation Partnerships (CAP) programs in NOAA's Climate Program Office. The projects represent investments in research networks that connect and align cutting-edge science with the most urgent needs of stakeholders. As projects are rooted in community needs, the projects cover topics ranging from identifying trade-offs and co-benefits of nature-based solutions, to informing decision support and community planning, as well as evaluation of projects once implemented.  

Titles of the 5 Webinars, recorded from September 2024 to January 2025 are:

• Challenges and Opportunities of Scaling Nature-based Solutions for Climate Adaptation
• Utilizing Nature-Based Solutions for the Advancement of Multiple Objectives, Co-Benefits, and Health
• Building Coastal Adaptive Capacity through Nature-based Solutions
• Considerations for Integrating Nature-based Solutions in Planning
• Modeling Nature-based Solutions for Decision Making
