There are strong interconnections between NBS, climate adaptation and mitigation actions. Ecosystem-based adaptation is a nature- based solution that uses ecosystem services to help communities adapt to climate change. Examples of such approaches were covered in Section 8.5.2.2. For example, mangrove restoration provides both climate mitigation  and adaptation to climate change , while also supporting the implementation of a range of other SDGs . Research has found that without mangroves, global flood damage costs would increase by more than USD 65 billion a year . There is, therefore, an urgent need to invest in a range of NBS.
