In amongst all the media noise of the “new normal” – sorry, that’s the last time I’ll use that phrase – here is a spotlight on this topic: the importance of nature, the environment, whatever you want to call it. Modeling remedial action on natural examples will loom larger and larger in the struggle to find a way through the maze of management strategies to help action on Climate Change. And there is more than a reasonable chance that Climate Change will be implicated in the increasing frequency of zo-onotic, that is inter-species outbreaks of virus epidemics. Green Awareness as ever, top priority.
Restoring and protecting nature is one of the greatest strategies for tackling climate change, but not just for the obvious reason that it sucks carbon out of the air. Forests, wetlands, and other ecosystems like mangroves act as buffers against extreme weather, protecting houses, crops, water supplies and vital infrastructure.
The strategy of using nature as a defence against climate impacts is called ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) – in essence, look after nature and it will look after you.
