“As countries are trying to meet their climate targets, they tend to focus first on the biggest point sources of emissions, which is why we see energy production regulated first… Nature-based solutions have additional complexities as they are related to the livelihoods and rights of local communities. This is the reason governments regulate these large point sources of emission first, but we should not lose sight of the importance of tackling the more complex solutions as well.”
