Launch of the European Assessment Global Roadmap on Nature-based Solutions [hybrid event]

​This event at Think Corner Main Stage will launch the European section of the Global Roadmap on Nature-based Solutions (NbS), connecting global findings to European and Nordic contexts. The event will feature expert presentations, panel discussion, and interactive dialogue on the implications for EU and Nordic policies, including the Nature Restoration Regulation, the EU’s New European Bauhaus, and urban nature plans. It will convene researchers, policymakers, city representatives, and practitioners to identify pathways for scaling NbS implementation. The event strengthens Finland’s leadership in sustainability science and nature-based solutions, and contributes to global discussions on just, climate-smart urban green infrastructure.  The event will be live-streamed globally to an international network of nature-based solutions researchers and practitioners.
