Description: The project seeks new opportunities from Nature-based Solutions (NBS) that actively harness ecosystem services (ES) to address climate change challenges effectively and adaptively. The proposed project targets the mainstreamed adaptation strategies for CC that are NBS-infused to safeguard the Lower Mekong River Basin  (LMRB) food security via the realization of 4 objectives: (i) to evaluate the CC impacts on ES that render the basin food insecure; (ii) to curate NBS best practices in agriculture management; (iii) to examine the NBS potentials in enhancing LMRB’s CC resilience and food security; and (iv) to disseminate research findings and contribute to building stakeholders’ capacities to adopt and upscale NBS practices.
