The theme of the International Day for Biological Diversity 2020 is “Our solutions are in nature”. Its message comes at a pivotal time during the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, which shows us the interconnectedness between human and planetary health. A sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 crisis should address multiple societal challenges, in particular biological diversity, human health, environmental health, climate change mitigation, and adaptation to climate change impacts.

Nature-based solutions to address global societal challenges
TLDR
A definitional framework for NbS is proposed, including a set of general principles for any N bS intervention, and the scope of NBS is defined as an umbrella concept embracing a number of different ecosystem-based approaches.
Governance Challenges for Implementing Nature-Based Solutions in the Asian Region
TLDR
This analysis identified the challenges for NbS governance for countries at different stages of economic development, and the importance of a framework that matches the need for N bS with relevant institutions and actors at various scales and in various sectors.
