Why freshwater ecosystem restoration makes (economic) sense
Investment in nature-based solutions creates employment opportunities in the short term and stimulates local sustainable economic development in the long term
Wednesday, 15 December 2021, 16:00 CET
In this webinar we will discuss key results from a report published in 2021 by Deltares in cooperation with WWF, setting the stage on the current knowledge about the economic rationale of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in river systems, and discuss opportunities for scaling up these investments, particularly in Europe.
The webinar will be presented by Sien Kok (environmental economist at Deltares, specialised in NbS & climate adaptation) and Sanja Pokrajac (NbS coordinator at WWF Living European Rivers Initiative, specialised in NbS and ecosystem services).
The webinar is open and free for anyone to join under:
