Keynote – Mapping out the evidence on the role of natural climate solutions in climate change mitigation

Key messages:

• Systematic mapping of the evidence on climate solutions is critical for efficient synthesis efforts, the identification of evidence gaps as well as efficiently allocating scarce research funding resources
• The evidence base for NbIs is significant and growing – with the majority assessing the relationship NBS and proxy outcomes of climate change mitigation. 
• Key gaps in knowledge hamper the ability to inform ongoing and future investment and implementation at scale.
