NO Focusing on the national level, this chapter explores progress in uptake and implementation of NbS for adaptation. It first introduces NbS for adaptation and the basis for increasing interest in them, before exploring the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and the role that ecosystems and their services, as well as their management, can play in reducing climate risks and impacts for both people and ecosystems. Following this, the chapter reviews progress in integrating NbS for adaptation into planning and policy at the national level, explores the financing landscape for NbS for adaptation, and describes progress and lessons learned in their implementation. Finally, the chapter highlights barriers to, and enablers for, further scaling-up of NbS for adaptation and provides suggestions for key next steps to advance the contribution of NbS to adaptation globally.Full report is available at: https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/34721
