Canada’s Submission ahead of the First Global Intergovernmental Consultation on Nature-based Solutions

Canada was a strong supporter of the adoption of UNEA Resolution 5/5 Nature-based solutions for supporting sustainable development at UNEA-5.2 in February 2022, and in particular its establishment of the first multilaterally agreed definition of nature-based solutions (NBS). We also welcome its call for further intergovernmental consultations to support the implementation of NBS, and look forward to the opportunity for continued multilateral discussions in this regard. Canada is, therefore, pleased to provide this submission of views to help inform the first Global Intergovernmental Consultation on Nature-based Solutions.
