Nature-based Solutions are part and parcel of our daily lives.
The PCP4NbS program seeks to contribute to strengthening climate resilience of communities, particularly rural and indigenous women, while ensuring co-benefits from, and for, natural resources and healthy ecosystems.
What are Nature-based Solutions?
Nature-based Solutions or NbS are widely recognized as cost-effective actions that protect, restore, and sustainably manage natural and modified ecosystems to address societal challenges – such as climate change, food and water security, and disaster risk reduction.
Together, we CAN!
Grounded in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Global Standard for NbS, the program targets these three objectives:
Conserve and restore our biodiversity
Adapt to our changing climate
Nurture and empower women to lead and participate

USBONG: Transdisciplinary Forum on Nature-based Solutions (NbS)
Last year, we planted a seedling—rooted in collective action and a shared commitment to nature-based solutions (NbS). This year, USBONG: A Transdisciplinary Forum on Nature-based Solutions (#NbS) brought together stakeholders from across sectors to deepen understanding of high-integrity, gender-responsive NbS in the Philippines, strengthen connections among ongoing initiatives, and advance the systems, partnerships, and enabling conditions needed for sustained and scalable action. Through dialogue, collaboration, and collective reflection, the Forum strengthened a growing community of practice committed to scaling up NbS in the Philippines! #TogetherForNbS
