The on-site segment of the 2024 edition of The Nature of Cities Festival (TNOC), which ICLEI Europe is sponsoring, is just around the corner. Following three weeks of virtual events in April, the in-person event in ICLEI Member Berlin (Germany) on 4 - 7 June offers a chance to connect with experts and changemakers in different session types that blend art, science and urban practice.
This year’s theme “Action”, informs the festival’s innovative programming, which, by integrating different disciplines and session formats, aims to foster dialogue and an exchange of cross-cutting ideas to enable equitable and inclusive cities.
ICLEI’s expertise in Biodiversity and Nature-based Solutions and Sustainable Food Systems will be on full display at TNOC this year. In June, you can join us at several seed and skills sessions:
