Nature-based solutions offer a powerful approach to help cities combat challenges such as urban sprawl, climate change, and pollution. By leveraging the regenerative power of nature, these solutions can restore degraded or damaged ecosystems, enhancing resilience against environmental threats and providing multiple benefits to society. Collaborative, action-driven research efforts involving policymakers, practitioners, and communities can facilitate the co-creation of knowledge, ensuring that solutions are grounded in local contexts and aligned with broader sustainability goals.
Organised by the EU-funded INTERLACE project on urban ecosystem restoration in Europe and Latin America, the event will foster dynamic discussions and share innovative practices from both regions. It will showcase learnings and resources around urban ecosystem restoration and nature-based solution planning and monitoring, inclusive stakeholder engagement and community participation, policy and governance, action-driven research, and cross-continental cooperation.
The conference will feature a mix of interactive sessions and hands-on workshops, inputs from experts and thought leaders in the field, and site visits to experience successfully implemented nature-based solutions.
