🌿What are nature-based solutions?

NBS are interventions that use nature to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time. And they could provide 1/3 of the carbon mitigation needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

🪨 The energy transition can’t happen without critical minerals. But mining what we need? That’s where things get complicated. Demand for lithium, nickel & cobalt is set to quadruple by 2050.

We have enough—but accessing them risks:
