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, biodiversity loss, 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.
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.
Speakers:
- Julia Rocha Romero, Advisor – Nature-based Solutions, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre
- Daniela Rizzi, NetworkNature Project Manager, ICLEI
- Ethel Mudenda, NbS Researcher and Consultant on NbS in Zambia, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre
- Henning Nøhr, Manager for Climate Adaptation, Water and Environment, Department for Green Diplomacy & Climate, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark
This webinar follows a workshop on urban NbS hosted by UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre in 2024, focusing on building resilient cities and the role of NbS in urban mitigation and adaptation.
