Amid the urgent climate and biodiversity crises, “WORKS with Nature” showcases proven techniques that effectively adapt, mitigate, and restore both our communities and ecosystems, paving the way for a regenerative future. Central to these efforts are Nature-based Solutions, which draw from the harmonious coexistence between humans and the natural world. By integrating Indigenous knowledge and insights from global experts and dedicated professionals, WORKS serves as an inspiring platform for knowledge-sharing and accelerating impactful, positive change.

By 2025, every member nation of the United Nations (UN) has committed to developing National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). This comprehensive guide is a supplement to the UN NAP Technical Guidelines, offering countries additional support by sharing successful strategies and lessons learned from international case studies.

This initiative was spearheaded by Pamela Conrad during her ASLA Biodiversity and Climate Action Fellowship in 2024, in collaboration with Kotchakorn Voraakhom. Their continued partnership with the UN ensures ongoing support for effective implementation and progress.
