Exploring ways to address the impacts of climate change in Tonga, the Island Kingdom has focussed its lens on Nature-based Solutions (NbS). To enhance its ability to do so, stakeholders came together to review and validate its national policies on forestry and coastal resilience sectors.
A workshop was held to review and validate the findings of a national policy assessment to determine how NbS was factored in forestry and coastal resilience in Tonga. It brought together government ministries, technical agencies, civil society representatives, and regional partners to review the assessment which spanned how existing policies, legislation, and plans currently address or overlook NbS in forestry and coastal resilience.
