This edition will shed light on innovative approaches to managing urban stormwater through nature-based solutions (NbS), emphasizing sustainable practices and strategic planning.

Featured Speakers:

Maria Wirth – An expert in business models for nature-based solutions (NbS) in urban stormwater and wastewater management, Maria Wirth offers invaluable insights into project development for water reuse and climate adaptation. In this session, she will:

• Share best practices for decentralised NbS business models
• Introduce collaborative public-private partnerships for effective financing and implementation

Dr. Maria Chiara Lippera – Working alongside Dr. Jan Friesen at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, Germany, Dr. Lippera specializes in developing tools for water-sensitive infrastructure planning. Her presentation will cover:

• The use of open urban geospatial data to determine space requirements and total project costs for decentralised NbS.
• Scenario comparisons with traditional urban stormwater management strategies to support informed decision-making at the pre-feasibility stage

This webinar is a must-attend for urban planners, environmental professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in sustainable urban water management.
