No results found.A session on nature-based solutions (NbS) was convened as part of this work session during the 2021 FAO Informal Consultation for Europe and Central. During the Informal Consultation, the first report which was drafted by REU on the NbS approach for ECA countries was launched3. Moreover, on December 1, 2020, the first virtual technical event on NbS for ECA as part of the series ‘Hand in Hand with Nature: Understanding NbS in Agriculture Through GIAHS’ was launched. To compliment efforts of mainstreaming NbS, REU convened a two-hour and half internal workshop on 9 December 2021 on Zoom. The main thrust of this workshop was to enhance national capacities on NbS of FAO technical experts working in ECA through the provision of a clear understanding of the NbS concept and approach, as well as a method to identify and apply them in agriculture. It also sought to answer the question: What do we mean by NbS and how can we apply them to agri-food systems? This dialogue created an interactive working environment that would generate up-to-date information on NbS in ECA. -
