EMBRACING NATURE: SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND WATER CONSERVATION

Qudsia Bano, Sabeeha Jabeen & Ahmad Rashiq

NBS offer a myriad of benefits, including the enhancement of biodiversity, the provision of ecosystem services, the sequestration of carbon, and the improvement of water quality and availability. Through the restoration of forests, wetlands, and coastal ecosystems, NBS can increase water filtration, reduce soil erosion, and enhance groundwater recharge, thus playing a pivotal role in water conservation and management (Bennett et al., 2020). Additionally, by supporting diverse habitats and species, NBS contributes to the resilience of ecosystems, enabling them to better withstand and recover from climate-induced disturbances. Moreover, the implementation of NBS can foster human well-being by securing livelihoods, improving health outcomes through cleaner air and water, and offering economic benefits through sustainable resource use and enhanced climate resilience (Chan et al., 2020). This holistic approach not only addresses immediate environmental concerns but also paves the way for sustainable development, aligning with global initiatives such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
