The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) Launches Report on Nature as Infrastructure
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has launched a report titled Nature as Infrastructure, which emphasizes the need to integrate nature-based solutions into infrastructure design to enhance climate resilience. The report discusses how investments in nature assets can sustain critical infrastructure-like services and mitigate the impact of human development on nature. It also highlights the importance of testing customized solutions tailored to the local environment. Examples include tree planting in China, which improved dust conditions in southern countries, and mangrove planting in Indonesia, which reduced losses from tidal floods. Harnessing nature as infrastructure requires scientific research, effective implementation, consultation with local communities, and policy incentives.
