As NetworkNature comes to an end and prepares the ground for the next chapter, NetworkNaturePlus, the Nature-based Solutions (NbS) community comes together once again to discuss the transformative nature of NbS.
Join us on 8th June 2023 at the Flagey Building in Brussels, Belgium!
Through interviews, presentations, panel debates and interactive sessions, we will see how NbS benefits reach across sectors and communities with their transformative potential. We will also discuss which transformations are needed in policy, in the economic and financing sector, and in science and practice to mainstream NbS. You will get to know the creative side to NbS and learn more about the products NetworkNature has to offer to policy makers, practitioners and businesses to see more NbS on the ground. You will find out about different EU-funded NbS projects and have time to network.
This NetworkNature Annual Event is open to the public, and aims at reaching audiences that go also beyond the European the NbS community. We warmly invite policy makers, scientific experts, civil society, investors and financing institutions, infrastructure planners and builders, landowners and natural resource managers, as well as anybody who involved or interested in NbS. If you or are new to the topic and joining from other sectors, such as climate, health, economy and society, we look forward to welcoming you and hearing about your perspective.
The event will conclude with an evening reception open to all attendees.
Prior to the event (on 7th June afternoon) and after the event (on 9th June morning), attendees are invited to participate in site visits to nature-based solutions in Brussels and Antwerp (sites to be determined).
Registration to the Annual Event and agenda are available here.
