There is potential for Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to contribute to Climate Resilient Development (CRD) due to their integrated approach to mitigation, adaptation, and sustainable development. However, despite alignment between NbS and CRD's objectives, realization of this potential is not guaranteed. A CRD Pathways (CRDP) approach helps to analyze the complexities of the relationship between CRD and NbS, and a climate justice lens enables the identification of the multiple ways that NbS can support or undermine CRD by foregrounding the politics inherent in deciding between NbS trade-offs. We use stylized vignettes of potential NbS to examine how the dimensions of climate justice reveal the potential of NbS to contribute to CRDP. We consider tensions in NbS projects between local and global climate objectives, and the potential for NbS framing to reinforce inequalities or unsustainable practices. Ultimately, we present a framework that combines climate justice and CRDP in an analytical tool for understanding the potential for a NbS to support CRD in specific places.
基于自然的解决方案(NbS)因其在缓解、适应和可持续发展方面的综合方法,具有为气候韧性发展(CRD)做出贡献的潜力。然而,尽管NbS与CRD的目标一致,但这种潜力的实现并无保障。一种气候韧性发展路径(CRDP)方法有助于分析CRD与NbS之间关系的复杂性,而气候正义视角能够通过突出在NbS权衡决策中固有的政治因素,识别出NbS支持或破坏CRD的多种方式。我们使用潜在NbS的程式化案例来研究气候正义的维度如何揭示NbS对CRDP做出贡献的潜力。我们考虑NbS项目中地方和全球气候目标之间的紧张关系,以及NbS框架强化不平等或不可持续做法的可能性。最终,我们提出了一个将气候正义和CRDP相结合的框架,作为一种分析工具,用于理解NbS在特定地点支持CRD的潜力。
