About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Cities around the world are embracing nature-based solutions (NBS) to tackle climate challenges.

During the webinar "Nature-based solutions for climate-resilient cities: digital tools for decision-makers", participants can explore highly relevant digital platforms empowering cities to implement nature-based solutions (NBS) to solve urban adaptation challenges on local level. These tools could help urban planners, policymakers, and innovators design climate-resilient strategies—from global best practices to actionable methodologies with transferable insights.

During the webinar you can learn about:

  • Global and local insights: Learn from platforms curating global best practices tailored for municipalities (including France-based examples with universal applications).
  • Decision-making tools: See how digital platforms help cities prioritize, and scale NBS.
  • Overcoming barriers: Key challenges in NBS adoption—and how to turn them into opportunities.
  • Scalability: Strategies to adapt these solutions to your city’s unique context.

Who should join?

Urban planners, local government officials, environmental researchers, NGOs, and innovators seeking data-driven solutions, partnerships, or inspiration for climate adaptation.

This event will be organised in the framework of the EU-funded Horizon Europe project, Adaptation AGORA which aims to improve decision-making for climate change adaptation.
