How can we address drought and land degradation together? This question was at the heart of a session at the IUCN Pavilion, where experts explored the power of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to reduce drought risks and restore ecosystems. 💡 Key takeaways: • “Ecosystem restoration through NbS offers a powerful way to reduce drought risk while building resilience in communities and ecosystems.” • Efforts focusing on soil health and sustainable agriculture must prioritize empowering farmers and communities to adopt these solutions effectively. ~ Ermias Aynekulu Betemariam. The session also featured the launch of IUCN's latest publication, "Restoring Ecosystems to Reduce Drought Risk," offering actionable insights to strengthen resilience and guide policies. 📖 Explore the publication here: 🔗 bit.ly/41pzqXo Another engaging discussion, "Global Movements to Scale Land and Soil Regeneration: The Behavioral Science Approach," brought together thought leaders, including: • Volli Carucci - World Food Programme Western Africa • Patrick Worms CIFOR-ICRAF & IUAF International Union for Agroforestry • LUU Paul - 4p1000 Initiative • Leigh Winowiecki - CIFOR-ICRAF, and more.
