Nature-Based Solutions in Action: Scaling Innovation Across Europe

Project: City Blues
Virtual event
Sharing experiences on nature-based solutions for climate adaptation and citizen well-being

Description

Join us for an inspiring online session 17 September 2026 focusing on blue-green nature-based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation and citizen well-being.

Organised jointly by Policy Area Innovation of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and the City Blues project, the session brings together projects and cities from across Europe’s macro-regions – Adriatic and Ionian, Alpine, Baltic Sea and Danube regions.

Discover how cities are implementing and scaling nature-based solutions, learn from real-life pilots and experiences, and explore the City Blues NBS model. The session offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and explore how successful approaches can be transferred and expanded across regions.
