NetworkNature is pleased to welcome registrations for the upcoming Science-Policy Workshop on:
How can policy direct financial flows to Nature-based Solutions for a nature positive economy in the European Union?
15th September 2025 – 11:00 to 17:30 CET – Brussels (venue information shared upon registration)
The aim of the event is to co-create policy-focused recommendations that could increase financial flows to nature-based solutions (NbS) and support a nature positive economy, based on the evidence and research from European Union (EU) funded projects. The event will explore the policies that are already supporting NbS, the policies that are not, and how policies can be shaped to further support private investment for a nature positive economy. Areas of discussion will include the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities, among others.
The workshop is targeted specifically at the following audiences in the EU:
- Policymakers responsible for financial planning, budgeting, and economic decision-making under different themes (e.g. green finance and investments, sustainable finance, natural capital etc) and in different sectors (e.g. agriculture, economics, infrastructure etc).
- Financial institutions involved in or interested in financing NbS, including in sectors like infrastructure and agriculture.
- EU funded projects working on various aspects of financing and funding NbS, including insurance, cost-benefit analysis and different financial mechanisms.
This is the third in a series of Science-Policy Workshops convened by NetworkNature to highlight the latest research from European Union (EU) funded projects and its relevance for policy. Please use this form to register your interest in joining us to explore how research can inform policy to help direct financial flows to NbS. We will aim to confirm participation no later than 5th September 2025.
