Join stakeholders worldwide in setting the Global Standard that re-defines our relationship with nature

Last week we launched the second and final public consultation on the IUCN Global Nature based Solutions for Societal needs – climate change, disasters, food and water security, health, social and economic development. On Tuesday 17^th September a live around the world day for your say - #day4yoursay - will happen, which will also be an opportunity to highlight the potential of Nature-based Solutions and get 100s of voices heard on how nature can be a solution for people.

The around the world trip will start in Suva, going to Nairobi and Geneva to then end in Washington DC, where the IUCN President will close the #day4yoursay journey. Follow us at: IUCN Global NbS Standard - #day4yoursay

How to get involved

The second public consultation for the Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions will run from the 1st of September until the 14th of October. If you would like to take part in crafting the Global Standard, you can do so via an online survey. The full survey has been designed to last under an hour, and there is also the opportunity to just provide feedback on your criteria of choice.

In addition to the publically available survey, IUCN will be hosting an NbS Day for Your Say on the 17th of September, with live face-to-face consultations in hubs such as Nairobi, Geneva and Washington DC. In addition, there will be opportunities to get involved with pilot testing the Global Standard to ensure its added value to the design, scaling up and verification of Nature-based Solutions.
