This report focuses on the NATURVATION (NATure-based URban innoVATION) project that was created to bring nature-based solutions into city planning. The four-year project involves 14 institutions across Europe in the fields of urban development, geography, innovation studies, and economics, building capacity of local governments to incorporate nature-based solutions in their localities.
Over the course of the project, ICLEI Europe served as a process facilitator, leading partners to assess what nature-based solutions can achieve in cities, examine how innovation is taking place, and work with communities and stakeholders to develop the knowledge and tools required to realize the potential of nature-based solutions for meeting urban sustainability goals.
