Restoring Urban Nature: Greening Cities Partnership Launches Webinar Series on Nature Restoration Regulation
The EU Nature Restoration Regulation aims to reverse the ongoing loss of biodiversity and restore ecosystems across Europe. Urban ecosystems, such as green roofs, urban forests, wetlands, and biodiversity corridors, provide critical services that contribute to both environmental and human well-being. This regulation encourages cities to integrate nature-based solutions into urban planning, enhancing resilience to climate change, improving air and water quality, and fostering healthier communities.
The webinar series
Under the Urban Agenda Partnership for Greening Cities, this webinar series will provide support and practical guidance to cities, regions, and national governments in the implementation of the EU Nature Restoration Law. Join us to gain expert insights, hear from real-world case studies and actionable strategies, and have your questions answered.
What to expect
Designed as a space to bring together urban planners, policymakers, national ministries, and environmental professionals, the series will support all to develop and implement urban nature restoration initiatives that align with the goals of the law to foster more liveable, biodiverse and resilient cities.
