NetworkNature Nordic hub

The NetworkNature Nordic hub is a gathering place for everyone working with nature-based solutions in the Nordic region. It is a platform where we exchange contacts and share knowledge about implementing nature-based solutions in our part of the world.

We also post Nordic cases on the Case Study Finder page, where you can explore different examples of nature-based solutions in the Nordic region. Occasionally, the Nordic hub facilitates events and webinars.

The Nordic hub is administered by Lisa í Dali, coordinator of the Nordic Council of Ministers' Nature Programme, Leonard Sandin from NINA, and Jóna Ólavsdóttir from the Centre for Nature-based Solutions at Aarhus University.
