Watershed management

This report has been prepared as part of an effort by IUCN to define its position on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and plan for future work to advance this concept and support effective implementation of NbS to enhance ecosystem services provision and address societal challenges. The report proposes a definitional framework for NbS, including a set of general principles for any NbS intervention.

O aumento do risco de mudança climática deixa as comunidades do Rio Doce mais vulneráveis a eventos como inundações, deslizamentos de terra e erosão costeira, indicando a necessidade de políticas e investimentos para gerar resiliência institucional e social para a adaptação à mudança climática, principalmente no que diz respeito à saúde humana e à saúde dos ecossistemas.

Increased risk of climate change makes the communities in the Rio Doce more vulnerable to events, such as flooding, landslides and coastal erosion, indicating the need for policies and investments to build institutional and  societal resilience for climate change adaptation, particularly in regard to human and ecosystem health.
