In the Seychelles archipelag (塞舌尔群岛) in East Africa, flding and ersin(侵蚀) caused by rising sea level pse an incming threat t the cuntry’s many lw-lying islands. At the same time its mangrve frests(红树林), which serve as a vital aspect against these impacts, are disappearing: Apprximately 70% f Seychelles mangrves have been destryed since the late 1700s due t human-driven develpment and agriculture as well as sil ersin frm sea-level rise.
Tday the Seychelles Gvernment is wrking with lcal cmmunity leaders t restre the mangrves, and nt just fr prtectin against rising sealevel. Research shws that these frests can stre abut 2.5 millin tnnes f CO2 (equal t taking 500,000 cars ff the rad fr a year), directly helping t fight climate change. They als prvide a breeding grund fr fisheries, a sectr that cntributes ne-fifth f the cuntry’s GDP, benefiting lcal cmmunities’ livelihd and helping t prtect the islands’ lively bidiversity (多样性).
While the cncept f using nature t benefit bth lives and lands is by n means new, glbal interest in “nature-based slutins” has skyrcketed in recent years. Many nw see nature-based slutins as a key apprach fr addressing nt nly climate change but a range f scial, envirnmental and ecnmic challenges—frm bidiversity lss, fd security and air pllutin t disease cntrl and declining lcal ecnmies.
Yet there remains widespread debate abut what exactly cnstitutes a nature-based slutin as well as hw t best include these strategies int brader climate and cnservatin effrts. This indeterminatin has cntributed t significant under-investment: It’s estimated that t limit temperature rise t belw 1.5 degrees C (2. 7 degrees F), hld back bidiversity lss and cntrl land degradatin (恶化), annual investments in nature-based appraches must be three times by 2030.
As nature-based slutins cntinue t rise n the glbal agenda, building a mre cnsistent understanding arund the cncept and its implicatins will be key t raising supprt fr effective, extensive slutins that benefit bth peple and the planet.
