ICLEI will be sharing insights and experiences with urban stakeholders from around the world at The Nature of Cities (TNOC) Summit in Paris (France) on 4-7 June.

The Summit will convene a diverse group of international stakeholders representing communities, cities and local governments, policy makers, and researchers, among others. The event aims to spark conversations to build a “collaborative and transdisciplinary movement for green cities that are just, liveable, resilient, healthy, and sustainable.”

On 6 June, ICLEI Europe staff will co-present a session on making cities more inclusive through co-creating nature-based solutions. The session will consist of a hands-on guided exercise, featuring European cities who will share concrete examples of having successfully co-created inclusive nature-based interventions, and whose efforts are internationally replicable.

ICLEI Africa will host a session on the same day, presenting innovative methods for improving stakeholder dialogue through games. Attendees will participate in a number of these games to gain first-hand experience on how to effectively use these tools in their own contexts.

Finally, the new CitiesWithNature platform will be presented to the diverse array of TNOC attendees. CitiesWithNature is a global knowledge sharing platform launched by ICLEI, IUCN and The Nature Conservancy that includes “The Nature Pathway” – a collection of guidance, tools and inspirational examples to help local and regional governments share their work on nature and learn about best practices and tools.
