Think Nature: A guide to using nature-based solutions



Together with CEC's strategic input, IUCN's Eastern and Southern Africa's Regional Programme published this educational documentary to show how communities living around the Mt Elgon in Kenya and Uganda use natural solutions, which are always available, to help tackle environmental challenges efficiently. The video is meant as tool for training sessions for county government officials of different departments in both countries to actively engage their sector in rolling out the IUCN approach for ecosystem-based solutions for climate change.

Rising Stewards: Improving Community Resilience



Together with CEC's strategic input, IUCN's Eastern and Southern Africa's Regional Programme published this introductory documentary to show how communities in Lira, Uganda and Garissa, Kenya are using natural solutions, which are always available, to help tackle environmental challenges efficiently. The 8 minute video is meant to showcase the results of the IUCN apporach of nature-based solutions to donors and international organizations to trigger funding to roll out the IUCN pilot projects on a larger scale in both countries. The first donor already has committed to continue to support the IUCN approach. See also the post I wrote immediately after the field interviews and video shooting about change strategies.
