In the Global South, rich natural resources, once the bedrock of numerous communities, are under threat from the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and other challenges. The latest IPCC report reveals that in Africa, 65% of productive land is degraded, with 45% desertified due to poor land practices and climate change impacts. Concurrently, a UN report indicates that while the need for climate adaptation grows, financial support lags behind, intensifying pressures on rural communities and exacerbating challenges for women accessing land and resources. Yet, hope emerges from locally-led, nature-based solutions that rejuvenate landscapes, bolster livelihoods, and enhance food systems. This article will spotlight six such impactful climate solutions from the Global South.
