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.

More Nature - Less Waste

When you transport branches from the garden to the recycling center, it's considered waste.

If you instead use the branches to create a fence, it becomes a part of nature.
When we build brush fences several positive things happen.

Learn more about how to create more nature and less waste in the video below.

Cities for biodiversity

We call you to a conference focused on biodiversity in northern cities – assessing biodiversity and the potential to strengthen it and how to go about it. The conference is supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers and arranged by Ekoparken Association in cooperation with World Wildlife Foundation in Sweden and the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Research supports the contention that cities are harbors for many species. What responsibility do we have to save and strengthen the biodiversity of our urban areas?

Less algal blooms and more fish in the Baltic Sea

Since 2015, Initiative Utö has been tirelessly working to save the Baltic Sea with the primary objective to combat algal blooms and foster a thriving fish population in the Baltic Sea. In May the project was taken to the next level when the unique floating wetland was launched as part of our ongoing programme on nature-based solutions in the Nordics. The project has gained significant recognition and was recently featured in the local newspaper, LOKALTIDNINGEN MITT I STOCKHOLM AB.
