Nature-based solutions use natural processes and intact ecosystems such as forests, moors and wetlands to overcome societal challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and water scarcity. They combine climate protection with the preservation of nature and livelihoods.
Nature-based solutions harness the ability of healthy ecosystems to both reduce greenhouse gases and strengthen natural adaptation processes. By protecting, restoring and sustainably using habitats such as forests, moors or bodies of water, CO₂ emissions can be avoided or stored in the long term while safeguarding natural resources.
These approaches bring a wide range of environmental and social benefits: they promote biodiversity, stabilise water and nutrient cycles, reduce risks from droughts or floods, and strengthen the resilience of landscapes and communities. Nature-based projects thus make an important contribution towards achieving global climate targets and regional sustainability strategies.
myclimate develops and supports nature-based projects that are scientifically sound, deisgned for the long term and clearly measurable. High quality standards, transparent monitoring processes and close cooperation with local partners ensure that these solutions are a credible and effective part of holistic climate strategies.
Natural CO₂ sinks with added benefits
Nature-based solutions bind CO₂ naturally while also creating habitats, biodiversity and resilience. They complement technological approaches such as direct air capture, and also have valuable environmental and social effects.
Broad project portfolio with global reach
With more than 30 projects – from support programmes in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to international initiatives – myclimate works in different ecosystems and land use contexts.
Flexible integration into climate strategies
Whether they represent your company’s first foray into a climate plan or merely an adjunct to an existing one, NBS projects can be flexibly integrated into corporate climate strategies and ESG goals – with a clearly measurable impact.
Swisscom makes an active contribution to climate protection in Switzerland and at the same time strengthens local biodiversity. That’s why we are committed to promoting standard fruit trees. By the end of 2025, around 3,000 trees had been planted. To achieve this, Swisscom works closely with myclimate, the Hochstamm Suisse association and committed farmers.
