Scale-out Development & Communication

Who We Are

Across Africa, NbS for climate adaptation are already delivering results—from restoring drylands and protecting coastal mangroves to building climate resilience in farmlands and cities. But successful models often remain isolated or under-documented.

Scaling out doesn’t mean one-size-fits-all. It means translating what’s worked in one context—through smart communication, evidence, and connection—so others can adapt it to their own.

That’s the power of this Task Force: turning local success into shared progress. We create the conditions that help NbS for adaptation take root and grow elsewhere. Here’s how:

• Craft Communication Strategies: We help projects tell their stories clearly, credibly, and compellingly—reaching the right people with the right message at the right time.
• Synthesize Knowledge and Lessons: We distill field experiences and lessons learned into resources that can be used and reused—from one project site to many.
• Strengthen Connections: We link people working across sectors, languages, and landscapes—because scaling happens when networks are strong.
• Building practical capacity: We develop tools, templates, and guidance that make it easier for others to communicate, replicate, and adapt NbS for climate adaptation work.
• Showcase real-world impact: We highlight the tangible environmental and social benefits of scaling out NbS—helping decision-makers see what’s possible.

Who’s Involved?

This Task Force brings together a dynamic mix of project managers, storytellers, communications experts, field practitioners, and knowledge brokers from across the P4C network. Members represent landscapes and communities as diverse as the work itself—from forest corridors and drylands to wetlands and urban fringes.

• Task Force Members draw on their field experience and communications know-how to share strategies that work, highlight messaging challenges, and co-create content designed to reach broader audiences.
• Chairs help bring focus and flow—coordinating group activities, linking the Task Force to the wider NAbSA framework, and guiding the production of outputs that can make a difference in policy rooms, community halls, and social media feeds alike.

Scaling NbS is not just a technical challenge—it’s a storytelling one.
If we want nature-positive solutions to be adopted more widely, we need to communicate them in ways that resonate, motivate, and replicate.

This Task Force is about making that happen. Together, we’re building a movement that helps local action ripple outward—and upward—toward global change.
