Agenda

- Nature-based Solutions: concepts, challenges and regional collaboration
- The IUCN Global Standard for NbS and the self-assessment tool
- NbS in practice: examples from NBS4Drought and related initiatives
- Open Q&A and panel discussion
Why is the webinar relevant for NBS4Drought?
As NBS4Drought moves into the implementation-phase on multiple showcase sites, ensuring alignment with recognised NbS quality criteria becomes more important than ever. The webinar fosters shared understanding, cross-project exchange and cooperation within the wider European NbS community. We will illustrate how the framework can be applied in practice.
A closing discussion segment invites all participants to address questions and reflect on how the standard relates to their individual work experiences.
