Countries worldwide face increasing climate challenges, requesting innovative and integrated solutions. Nature-based solutions (NbS) offer a promising alternative to traditional infrastructure by leveraging ecosystems to address climate and disaster risks, while also providing co-benefits such as biodiversity enhancement and socio-economic support. However, their widespread adoption requires advancements in policy and governance, technological innovation, and social and behavioral change. This chapter explores the implementation and effectiveness of NbS in disaster risk reduction and climate resilience across countries in Asia, with case studies from Indonesia, Singapore, and Bangladesh. Through comparative analysis, the chapter identifies the success factors and challenges faced by these NbS initiatives, emphasizing the critical role of local community participation in achieving sustainable outcomes. Additionally, the chapter highlights the interconnected nature of policy, technological, and social innovations in fostering successful NbS adoption. Key recommendations include establishing sustainable funding mechanisms, ensuring policy coherence, continuous monitoring and assessment, and comprehensive capacity-building programs. By examining these case studies, the chapter provides valuable insights into the collective synergy required to advance NbS for climate resilience and disaster risk reduction, ultimately contributing to the realization of a sustainable and resilient future.

摘要

Countries worldwide face increasing climate challenges, requesting innovative and integrated solutions. Nature-based solutions (NbS) offer a promising alternative to traditional infrastructure by leveraging ecosystems to address climate and disaster risks, while also providing co-benefits such as biodiversity enhancement and socio-economic support. However, their widespread adoption requires advancements in policy and governance, technological innovation, and social and behavioral change. This chapter explores the implementation and effectiveness of NbS in disaster risk reduction and climate resilience across countries in Asia, with case studies from Indonesia, Singapore, and Bangladesh. Through comparative analysis, the chapter identifies the success factors and challenges faced by these NbS initiatives, emphasizing the critical role of local community participation in achieving sustainable outcomes. Additionally, the chapter highlights the interconnected nature of policy, technological, and social innovations in fostering successful NbS adoption. Key recommendations include establishing sustainable funding mechanisms, ensuring policy coherence, continuous monitoring and assessment, and comprehensive capacity-building programs. By examining these case studies, the chapter provides valuable insights into the collective synergy required to advance NbS for climate resilience and disaster risk reduction, ultimately contributing to the realization of a sustainable and resilient future.
