Taking stock of global progress on nature-based solutions to climate change

This official side event of the 58th sessions of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies (SB58) will take stock of the collective progress made to date and identify what can be done to strengthen further action and ambition on it in the context of the Global Stocktake.
