Descripción de la sesión

This session marks the launch of the Urban Nature-based Solutions (NbS) Guidelines, developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Designed to support urban policymakers, planners, and stakeholders, the guidelines offer a comprehensive, user-friendly framework for integrating NbS into urban development to address climate risks, biodiversity loss, and social inequalities.
Participants will gain insights into practical strategies for scaling and implementing NbS in diverse urban contexts, learn from real-world success stories, and explore opportunities for collaboration. The session will also facilitate discussions on overcoming barriers related to policy, financing, and technical capacity, ensuring cities can leverage NbS to enhance resilience, promote equity, and achieve sustainable urban transformation.
Join this session to explore how the new Urban NbS Guidelines can be a catalyst for creating greener, healthier, and more resilient cities worldwide.
