Nature Based Solutions for New Urban World

Conference and a global conversation to demonstrate benefits of Nature Based Solutions for climate and water resilience in cities


17 – 18 October 2018, Wrocław, Poland


!! PARTICIPATION IN THE CONFERENCE IS FREE OF CHARGE !!

The topics of the Conference concern the issues of environmental protection and engineering in cities, in terms of threats and challenges of climate change (including air pollution, rainwater management, urban microclimate, urban heat island, threats to biodiversity, health of urban residents and urban stress). It also introduces the concept of Nature Based Solutions (NBS) and green-blue infrastructure in the context of:


  • landscape designing and architecture,
  • environmental risk assessment and modeling,
  • ecological, economic and social benefits,
  • creating so-called “green cities” and adaptation strategies to climate change,
  • economic issues (real estate and land value and Nature Based Solutions),
  • projects supporting the implementation of NBS in cities (on the example of the Grow Green project implemented by the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences and the Municipality of Wrocław).



The Conference is financed by Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Poland
