This report highlights how Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) can play a key role in Canada’s climate action, while also benefiting people, nature, and the economy. By protecting, managing, and restoring natural areas like forests, wetlands, and farmlands, NCS offer a powerful, cost-effective way to cut emissions and support biodiversity.

These nature-based actions are ready to scale, backed by strong public support, Indigenous leadership, and increasing investment. In addition to helping meet Canada’s 2030 climate targets, NCS bring wide-ranging benefits—from cleaner water and air to job creation, cultural connections, and community resilience.
