Nature for Development Action Kits

Increasing our understanding of how crucial nature is in ensuring a liveable, sustainable future for us all

Nature underpins our lives, societies, and economies and is fundamental to achieving our 2030 Agenda. Addressing the nature crisis is essential to eradicating and preventing poverty, reducing inequalities, and protecting human rights. Moreover, nature is a positive source of solutions and hope: a nature-positive transition is central to tackling planetary crises such as climate change.

The Nature for Development Action Kits offer entry points to operationalize the opportunity to advance the SDGs through nature. They will help decision-makers and practitioners recognize programming options and make the case for investing in Nature to achieve development outcomes. These Action Kits comprise key facts, figures and talking points about nature through different practice lenses:

a. Nature for Food Security
b. Nature for Water Security
c. Nature for Climate Action
d. Nature for Gender Equality
e. Nature for Peace

This is a ‘living’ resource and a call to action that will expand to cover more practices.
