International Day for Biodiversity

May 22nd is the International Day for Biological Diversity and the theme chosen by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) this year is “Our solutions are in nature”. This is a clear reference to increasingly popular nature-based solutions (NBS) as a strategy for mitigating climate change and biodiversity loss. Unfortunately, NBS as a concept has been twisted by corporations and governments to falsely re-brand highly damaging practices as “green”.
