NetworkNature organised the Annual Event ‘Upscaling Nature-based solutions in policy and practice’, on September 27th in Brussels, to provide participants an opportunity to learn more about the state-of-the-art developments in NBS practice & policy.
MULTISOURCE project joined the event to spread the word about how MULTISOURCE project and alchemia-nova contribute to a nature-positive economy.
The event focused on the Network Nature semester theme “Nature-based solutions and Standards”, to ensure the quality, effectiveness and scale of implementation that helps deliver the European Green Deal and the challenges related to biodiversity, climate change and socio-economic development.
This was a great opportunity for MULTISOURCE to interact and exchange on developing standards around NBS, quality criteria and best practices for integrating NBS more effectively in policy and practice. The sessions featured presentations, capacity building and idea-sharing by the NBS community of practice in order to learn about the latest developments and success stories in upscaling NBS in policy and practice and to identify opportunities for strengthened engagements and partnerships for NBS.
The lack of long-term financing for operation and maintenance prevents especially the private sector from choosing green over grey solutions to adapt sewer systems and other urban infrastructures to climate change . MULTISOURCE is developing blended financing models that capture the multiple benefits of NBS and are fit for their long term management.
