Participants actively engaged in dynamic discussions during the workshop, centering on tangible processes and data exploration. Emphasizing the need to develop local expertise and increase awareness of NbS, the discussions highlighted the critical role of these practices. The attendees underscored the necessity of collaborative efforts among government agencies and the value of shared learning experiences among diverse participants. The focus was on the effective use of data and knowledge to gauge the impact of NbS, particularly in understanding their benefits. Involving communities reliant on the Sundarbans' resources, the group advocated for enhancing local capabilities, promoting NbS practices, and elevating awareness at the grassroots level. The conversation also highlighted the need to align with global and regional objectives for better resource allocation and decision-making. Implementing NbS was advised to be gradual, purposeful, and adaptable. Furthermore, enhancing cooperation between various government departments and facilitating mutual learning among stakeholders were key factors for success.

The workshop underscored UNDP's renewed commitment to enhancing the resilience of the Sundarbans and its surrounding regions—an important haven for diverse wildlife, a natural shield against severe weather events, and a critical source of sustenance and income for millions who rely on it. The atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm and cooperative energy as attendees exchanged insights, shared their enthusiasm, and envisioned targeted programs to foster sustainable development in the area. This joint effort will fortify partnerships to secure a sustainable future for the Sundarbans and their communities. The insights gained from this workshop will be instrumental in promoting and sculpting initiatives and approaches vital for the health and preservation of this ecologically crucial area.
