🌳Poznan strives to add more 'green' into their city, with one of their chosen intervention: natural playgrounds. This nature-based solution targets a layer of society not often considered in the grand scheme of urban NBS. Yet it plants habits of being close to nature from an early age, by integrating it into their surroundings.

What a great line up of speakers we have from Colombia, Mexico, China, Ireland, Germany and the EU to bring the topic of our COP16 Colombia workshop to life: "Bridging Global Perspectives on Transformative Change towards a Nature-Positive Economy" SAVE THE DATE: 23RD OCTOBER, 2024, 15:30PM (GMT-5), EU PAVILION, COP16 Live streaming available with EN/SP interpretation via this link: https://lnkd.in/eSgpxj8R This session addresses the transformative change needed in global economic systems to achieve the targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework . While the concept of #NaturePositive is relatively well defined, the operationalisation of ‘nature positive’ in our economic systems remains under-developed. The value of nature to planetary and human health is not recognised in many current economic systems often resulting in conflicting nature-positive and nature-negative economic policies. Concerns have been raised though that the concept of a #naturepositiveeconomy is overly euro-centric and of less relevance to policy makers, businesses and communities in the Global South. In this interactive session, co-hosted by NetworkNature EU TaskForce 3 and Trinity Business School on behalf of the GoNaturePositive! consortium, participants will discuss a new concept note framing the #naturepositiveeconomy from different global perspectives. Featuring expert speakers, combined with practical case studies from Colombia, Mexico, China and Europe, the relationship between #naturebasedsolutions, the #naturepositiveeconomy, #naturebasedenterprise and the implementation of the KM-GBF will be clarified, shining a spotlight on emerging challenges and opportunities. The outputs from this session will inform the development of a new EC expert publication on the role of NbS in the nature-positive economy to be published next year.

🌿The new Nature Restoration Law: a win for the environment is a win for people! The EU Nature Restoration Law is set to revolutionize our approach to environmental conservation, and nature-based solutions (NBS) are at the forefront of this transformation. This groundbreaking legislation aims to restore degraded ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and combat climate change by leveraging the power of nature itself. In our latest article written by our partners at Department of Environmental Science, Aarhus University, we delve into the critical role that NBS play in achieving the ambitious goals of the EU Nature Restoration Law. From reforestation and wetland restoration to sustainable agriculture and urban green spaces, these solutions offer a holistic and effective approach to environmental restoration which all lead back to improved wellbeing for the community.  Read more about the role of NBS in the EU Nature Restoration Law: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eQAuAV9V ❓Will you be involved in preparing your member state's Nature Restoration Plans ? Read ClientEarth's practical report offers guidance and insights on the drafting of these plans 👉https://lnkd.in/en-iM-qM Join us in exploring how these innovative strategies can help create a greener, more resilient future for all. Together, we can make a significant impact on our planet’s health and well-being! 🌍 #Sustainability #NatureBasedSolutions #EU #Environment #GreenFuture #Biodiversity #ClimateAction

As part of implementing the Nature Restoration Law, member states must prepare Nature Restoration Plans by September 2026. ClientEarth has prepared a practical report offering insights and guidance on the drafting of these plans. Of particular interest is Box 3 on Page 18 which covers the socio-economic benefits of restoration measures. In this, the creation of new jobs and stimulation of "new entrepreneurial activities linked to restoration" are duly mentioned. Enter stage right: #NaturebasedEnterprises and the professionals delivering #naturebasedsolutions across our members states and beyond. #RestoreNature #NaturePositive GoNaturePositive!

💡Lets dig behind our living labs motivations in implementing NBS In Cascais, Portugal, the Empresa Municipal de Ambiente de Cascais showcases the powerful potential of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) through restoration of ther coastal dunes and the Ribeira. As highlighted by Bárbara Coelho, focusing on restoring natural habitats encourages greater public acceptance and prioritizes a holistic approach to environmental challenges. The emphasis on working with nature, rather than large-scale human intervention, makes NbS a key strategy in creating sustainable, resilient landscapes.
