Supported by Nature is part of the session “Co-creating with people and nature: inclusive NBS to promote justice and equity for building sustainable, resilient, and liveable cities” on Wednesday 20 May.

The session explores how nature-based solutions (NBS) can be designed and implemented to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and human well-being, while ensuring inclusivity, equity, and community empowerment. It highlights frameworks, governance approaches, and case studies that integrate ecosystem services with social justice and participatory processes.

By bringing together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, the session aims to share practical experiences, identify challenges, and develop actionable guidance for implementing inclusive NBS that deliver both ecological and social benefits.
