SUMMARY:Assessing the Viability and Synergies of Nature-Based Solutions in Southern Africa: A Climate-Resilience Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Nature-based solutions involve working with nature to enhance both human well-being and ecosystem resilience\, with a primary objective of bolstering climate resilience and mitigation efforts. Despite the proliferation of initiatives aimed at funding and advocating for nature-based solutions\, there has been growing scholarly scrutiny globally regarding the socio-ecological suitability of certain approaches. This scrutiny is particularly pertinent in Africa\, where the livelihoods of many communities are intricately linked to their surrounding landscapes and the array of ecosystem services they provide. Moreover\, the ramifications of climate change on these essential ecosystem services remain incompletely understood. \nOur research endeavours to assess the effectiveness of select nature-based solutions within the context of southern Africa under projected future climate scenarios. Specifically\, we employed species distribution modelling to evaluate the potential distribution patterns of approximately 4500 plant species across three distinct nature-based solutions: afforestation\, agroforestry\, and restoration\, considering three varying degrees of warming above pre-industrial levels (+1.5°C\, +2°C\, and +4°C). \nDuring our presentation\, we delve into an analysis of the spatial and temporal viability of each nature-based solution throughout the subcontinent\, shedding light on the potential for either conflict or synergy among these solutions\, biodiversity conservation efforts\, and human well-being. Our findings serve as a novel exploration of the opportunities\, challenges\, and inherent limitations associated with implementing nature-based solutions in southern Africa.
