Nature based Solutions

A dialogue fuelled by the presentations of Frederic Hache from Green Finance Observatory and Souparna Laihiri from Global Forest Coalition provided important information to understand what is hidden behind the apparent innocent concept of Nature based Solutions and its implications in the Convention on Biological Diversity and its post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
