Webinar: Reimagining Urban Growth: Scaling Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilient Cities

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the transformative potential of nature-based solutions in fast-growing cities. As urbanization accelerates, NbS offers a promising path to address the challenges of climate change and urban resilience. This session will dive into how NbS can be scaled effectively, overcoming existing barriers to implementation. UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre's expertise gathered through extensive knowledge-sharing activities and the development of two key publications, will be at the forefront of this discussion. Download the two new NbS publications here:

• Business Models for Financing Nature-Based Solutions in Urban Climate Action
• Policy Brief: Enabling Future-Ready Urbanization in Fast-Growing Cities with Nature-based Solutions

This webinar will feature expert insights from key actors invested in supporting cities to implement and overcome barriers on NbS, including the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ICLEI, and UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre.
