NO In recent years, there has been increased attention to and understanding of the linkages between the climate and biodiversity crises. One sign of this change is the recent focus on nature-based solutions for climate and other challenges, as exemplified in the 2022 United Nations Environment Assembly resolution on nature-based solutions. More specifically, there’s a growing recognition around the world of the importance of ecosystem restoration for climate adaptation. The specific context for this paper is provided by two current initiatives: the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, which was launched in 2021, and the Global EbA Fund, which is expected to operate until 2027. One of the three main goals of the UN Decade is to increase our understanding of the multiple benefits of successful ecosystem restoration. The Global EbA Fund aims to address planning and other governance gaps in policy and regulatory environments to increase the attractiveness and feasibility of using and upscaling ecosystem-based approaches for climate change adaptation. This briefing paper is intended to contribute to both initiatives by highlighting the role of restoration in climate change adaptation and identifying key lessons that need to be taken into account in promoting that role.
