It does so by providing a hub for Parties and non-state actors working on NbS to collaborate and build support across the Rio Conventions through a collective voice for evidence-based policy on high integrity NbS. The Partnership was launched at the Sharm el-Sheikh UNFCCC COP27 by the Egyptian COP Presidency in collaboration with the Government of Germany and IUCN. IUCN hosts ENACT's secretariat, which leads the implementation of the Partnership.

ENACT’s Outputs 

Annual Nature-based Solutions Report 

• The inaugural report, State of ENACT NbS Goals Report, will be launched at COP28. The report will detail a baseline of current knowledge on the ENACT NbS Goals. It will highlight ENACT partners’ success in applying high-integrity NbS to key ENACT NbS workstreams. Workstreams are aligned with Marrakesh Partnership Resilience Pathways and Sharm El Sheikh Adaptation Agenda to leverage high-integrity NbS as a key means to accelerate transformation across the impact systems through enhanced collaboration. 

Partnership Building 

• ENACT will strengthen collaboration between existing partnerships and initiatives working on different areas of NbS. The strengthened collaboration will bring coherence to the implementation of high-integrity NbS. ENACT Partners will have the opportunity to showcase and share their NbS commitments & progress, contribute to the State of NbS Report, and access technical support from specialized communities of practice. 

Global Communications  

• The ENACT Dashboard will be launched to track progress on the ENACT NbS Goals for adaptation, mitigation, and biodiversity. 

• The Partnership will produce guidance on action toward achieving ENACT’s NbS Goals coordinated through the networks of practice on key NbS workstreams.
