This introductory session to the K4D Learning Journey on International Nature will broadly introduce the interrelationship/integration between biodiversity, ecosystems, ecosystem services, human activity, and climate change. It will highlight how human activity is driving ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss in combination with climate change, as well as the relationship between biodiversity and climate change and how the dynamics of each are mutually reinforcing.
The session will make the case that to take action on climate change, biodiversity and poverty reduction, we need to protect, conserve and restore Nature, drawing on key arguments around the urgency and scale of the problem. It will define Nature interventions, which include Nature-based Solutions.
