When we talk about climate action, we see a lot of competing priorities. Should we invest in reducing our emissions or building resilience to climate disasters? How do we choose between the needs of people and the needs of biodiversity?
Introducing Second Nature: A New Look at India’s Climate Future - a podcast by the India Climate Collaborative-EdelGive Foundation Alliance that explores the role Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can play in addressing all these challenges together. Listen to practitioners, government officials, financiers, and many more as we explore ways to bring these critical solutions into the mainstream.
