Adaptive Capacity: A system's ability to adjust to climate changes, moderate damages, seize opportunities, and manage impacts.
In climate change time is money but also risk of life, livelihoods, and property. Nature-based Solutions buy us time.
The right tool for the job is the one at hand.

When society says plant trees, we say "restore the beavers"! When politicians say "drain the swamp", we say "fill up the bogs"! When Rick Moranis says "Comb the Desert!", we say "don't step on the soil crust!".
