Investment in Nature-Based Solutions as a National Development Priority for Tanzania

TLDR

• As Tanzania implements Vision 2050 and advances its climate commitments under the Paris Agreement, financing Nature-based Solutions should become a national development priority.
• The answer increasingly lies in Nature-based Solutions (NbS), actions that protect, restore and sustainably manage natural ecosystems to address societal challenges while enhancing biodiversity and human well-being.
• Nature-based Solutions provide an opportunity to transform conservation from a financial burden into an attractive investment opportunity.
• Community participation remains the cornerstone of successful Nature-based Solutions.
• Investing in Nature-Based Solutions today is therefore an investment in Tanzania’s resilience, competitiveness and sustainable development.
