UrbanByNature webinar

On 10 July, UrbanByNature, the global programme for urban nature pioneers, will kick off its webinar series for the Caucasus region.

In this introductory webinar, UrbanByNature will present its facilitated capacity-building and expertise-sharing programme to help lift the barriers to urban nature and set cities and towns on a new green course. Participants will learn what nature-based solutions (NBS) actually are in both European and Caucasian contexts, as well as about how to build the capacity of local stakeholders towards implementing nature-based solutions step-by-step.

During the webinar, participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences and to explore common questions with speakers:

  • Tiago Freitas, Policy Officer,  Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, European Commission, Belgium
  • Marcus Collier, Connecting Nature Project Coordinator, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
  • Daniela Rizzi, Officer, Sustainable Resources Climate and Resilience, ICLEI, Germany
