Abstract Background Nature-based interventions (NbIs) for climate change mitigation include a diverse set of aimed at conserving, restoring, and/or managing natural and modified ecosystems to improve their ability store sequester carbon avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Recent projections estimate that terrestrial NbIs can lead more than one-third the necessary meet Paris Climate Agreement by 2030. Further, these provide co-benefits in form social ecological outcomes. Despite growing recognition potential benefits, clear characterization distribution occurrence evidence which supports linkages between different types outcomes mitigation, ecosystems, people remains poorly understood. Methods This systematic map assesses base on links social, tropical subtropical regions. We searched three bibliographic databases, 65 organization websites, conducted backward citation chasing within 39 existing syntheses identify relevant articles. Additionally, we reached out key informants additional sources evidence. then used machine learning rank returned results relevance title abstract stage manually screened inclusion using predefined criteria title, abstract, full text stages. extracted meta-data from included articles an priori coding scheme. Lastly, targeted, complementary search review synthesis broader context findings map.
