This video presents insights from the first independent evaluation of the Global Environment Facility’s support for Nature-based Solutions (NbS), covering 933 projects from GEF-5 to GEF-8. Through field examples in Nepal, India, Mexico, and the Philippines, it showcases how NbS interventions—such as reforestation, climate-smart agriculture, and sustainable land management—are restoring ecosystems, supporting livelihoods, and building resilience. The video also explores the potential of innovative finance to scale NbS, while highlighting key challenges including limited uptake, coordination gaps, and barriers to sustained investment. The findings underscore the need for clearer strategies and stronger systems to unlock the full potential of NbS in addressing global environmental and development goals.
