China has called for incorporating nature-based solutions in climate policies and as part of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. This webinar presented initial findings from research on nature-based solutions in China to better understand what this means in research, policy and practice.

This virtual dialogue addressed some key questions on:

●      What do nature-based solutions mean in the China context?

●      How can nature-based solutions help China meet climate change challenges and the Sustainable Development Goals?

●      What are some best practices of nature-based solutions  in China and beyond?
