NetworkNature Nordic hub

The NetworkNature Nordic hub is a gathering place for all those who work with nature-based solutions in the Nordic region. It is a platform where we exchange contacts and share the knowledge, we gain about implementing nature-based solutions in our part of the world. Also, we post Nordic cases on the Case Study Finder page, so you can see different examples of nature-based solutions in the Nordic region. Occasionally, the Nordic hub will also facilitate events and webinars. The Nordic hub is administered by Jóna Ólavsdóttir, coordinator of the Nordic Council of Ministers' Nature-based solutions programme in the Nordic region.

We’re launching two handbooks to bring NBS to life in the Nordics!

After four years of collaboration within the Nordic Programme on Nature-based Solutions, we’re proud to introduce two brand-new handbooks designed to make it easier to implement nature-based solutions in practice.

Based on the knowledge and insights generated during the programme, these handbooks provide concrete tools and guidance to address some of society’s biggest challenges — all by working with nature for nature and people.

Nature-based solutions are something we have forgotten we can do

The 27nd and 28th of September, the Nordic Conference on Nature-Based Solutions was held, bringing together politicians, experts, and stakeholders from across the region to discuss sustainable solutions to the climate and environmental challenges we face. The conference focused on addressing the triple planetary crisis: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution—challenges that not only threaten our ecosystems but also human well-being, economies, and local communities.

On September 26th and 27th, a great conference on nature-based solutions in the Nordic region will be held in Malmö.

Through talks, presentations, excursions, posters, and debates, we will explore how much we know about nature-based solutions in the Nordic countries and what it will take to implement many more of these solutions in the future.

Trädkontoret leads the Yggdrasil project!

Trädkontoret (The Tree Office) in Sweden has won the bid for the Yggdrasil project on nature-based solutions in Nordic cities. The initiative is a project in the Nordic Council of Ministers programme on nbs, which is a part of the Nordic Vision 2030. The project, led by Johan Östberg, focuses on promoting nature-based solutions and will centre around the innovative 3+30+300 rule, guiding urban greening efforts to enhance biodiversity, climate adaptation, and public health.
