Nature-based Solutions

Lis and Marcus are joined by Musonda Mumba, a wetlands ecologist and the director of the Rome Centre for Sustainable Development, to discuss the vital role that nature and ecosystems play in helping us adapt to climate change. And in the Seychelles, biologist Victorin Laboudallon explains why mangroves are a ‘super-solution’, protecting both the land and the sea, and keeping us safe from the effects of climate change.
