The Global Future Council, is a think tank established by the World Economic Forum. They emphasize the importance of nature-based solutions in addressing the multiple and interlinked environmental crises facing the world today. These solutions refer to approaches that use nature, or natural processes, to address environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation.

Nature-based solutions have been shown to have multiple benefits for both the environment and society. For example, they can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restore degraded ecosystems, and provide benefits such as increased food security, clean water, and recreation opportunities.

The Global Future Council report highlights that nature-based solutions can also play a crucial role in achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to address a range of social, economic, and environmental challenges.

However, the report also notes that despite their potential, nature-based solutions are currently underutilized, and that there is a need for increased investment and political support to scale up their implementation. This includes the development of appropriate policies, investment in research and development, and capacity-building efforts to ensure that communities and local stakeholders are equipped to implement these solutions effectively.
