Develop high quality nature-based interventions for climate mitigation in Southeast Asia
Forest conservation and restoration is one of the best examples of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) that can provide solutions for societal challenges, such as reducing people’s vulnerability to climate change impact and building their resilience to it. WWF-Singapore is a member of the newly-formed Southeast Asia Climate and Nature Based Solutions Coalition (SCeNe Coalition), working to establish high impact and high-quality NbS projects by identifying key geographies in Southeast Asia where the greatest benefit to local communities, biodiversity, and climate could be achieved.

Develop Corporate Guidance on climate mitigation and NbS
As nature-based climate mitigations projects gain attention, the right checks and balances are required to ensure that investments into these projects result in science-based carbon reduction goals. WWF-Singapore is leveraging on our international network and expertise to develop corporate guidelines and best practices for companies on NbS, climate finance and carbon credits.
