Exploring the Potential of Nature-based Solutions for Sustainable Development

Luogo della manifestazione
Freiburgstrasse 133

The main objective of the one-day event is to embark on a joint learning journey and to foster a shared understanding of the development relevance and potential of the NBS concepts - and to work out the areas of tension and trade-offs that these concepts inevitably inherit. What is working, what is not and why?
Everyone seems to be talking about Nature-based Solutions (NBS) these days. A silver bullet for fostering sustainable development and to tackle pressing global challenges – or rather (another) passing hype with limited practical potential for development cooperation?
This year’s Swiss thematic network event will provide a floor for discussing and learning more about the topic of ‘Nature-based Solutions for Sustainable Development’ - and sounding the true potential of this new kid on the block from a perspective of climate change, environment and water.
This shall be achieved by sharing approaches and concrete positive and negative experiences about the application of NBS for sustainable development – with a particular focus on the fields related to climate change, environment and water. Of course, the event aims also at connecting those interested in the specific topic and at promoting networking in general.
Draft Programme:
The event will start with few inspiring plenary inputs. Subsequently, the majority of the day will be held in break-out groups. At the end of the day, the most interesting and inspiring learning moments will again be shared in plenary and possible follow-up activities explored. A detailed programme will be sent out to registered participants in due time.
