The NetworkNature Nature-based Solutions Task Forces (TFs) Cluster Meeting brings together NN Task Forces members, NN NbS Hubs representatives, NN partners, and the European Commission (European Research Executive Agency and DG Research & Innovation) to take stock of the TFs achievements, exchange and strengthen synergies, further develop joint ideas and build capacities. It will take place on 5th November in Paris as part of the Nature-based Solutions International Congress.
This year’s meeting will gather Task Forces’ feedback on the R&I Roadmap and its priority areas, to inform the Roadmap update due in June 2027. After a short plenary presentation, the morning centres on an interactive “Roadmap Hackathon”. There, Task Forces will explore how to improve the way evidence is generated, shared and integrated, and identify a few practical improvements to strengthen the NbS community’s evidence contributions over time.
In the afternoon, each Task Force will discuss its past and ongoing work at dedicated tables facilitated by the TF leads. Two presentations will follow. The first, “From Legal Structures to Living Systems: A Framework for Policy-to-Practice”, addresses the gap between high-level policy commitments and on-the-ground implementation, and invites Task Forces to challenge and help strengthen the framework. The day closes with an introduction to the NbS exhibition. Attendees will then stress-test its digital “Virtual Companion”, a set of interactive tools for deeper dives into NbS policy, governance and research.
