Greening Cities Partnership Webinar: Regulations for Nature Restoration on Municipal Owned Land

How can cities restore nature, adapt to climate change, and ensure liveable public spaces on municipal-owned land? Join the fourth webinar in the Greening Cities Partnership series on the EU Nature Restoration Regulation to explore policies and regulations for greening city-owned land through both new developments and retrofitting projects.

Rethinking Municipal-Owned Land

This session will focus on how cities can use municipal-owned land to meet urban nature restoration targets under the EU Nature Restoration Law. With a focus on both single-scale and large-scale renovation projects, we will discuss policies for integrating biodiversity targets into new developments and retrofitting projects. The conversation will also address how urban targets under the Nature Restoration Law can align with the revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).

City Insights and Practical Examples

The webinar will feature presentation from the Barcelona Metropolitan Area on their Sustainability Protocol, a framework guiding housing, public facilities, and urban development interventions in streets, squares, and parks that respect environmental considerations.

 

Interactive Format

Following the presentations, the speakers will engage in an interview-style discussion moderated by Leon Kapetas (Resilient Cities Network). This format encourages active audience participation—bring your questions and contribute to the discussion on integrating nature restoration into urban policy frameworks.
