NATURANCE and Invest4Nature projects invite you to join the final event of the first Naturethon initiative! This webinar discusses financing frameworks with an impact, drawing special attention to cities and the social value of nature-inspired solutions for adaptation in the urban environment.

Silvia Ainio, climate policy expert specializing in international climate negotiations and sustainable finance, will provide a global overview of the main challenges in financing nature-based solutions, particularly related to scaling up the role of the private sector and illustrate a few innovative examples on how could these be overcome.

Following, Marianne Zandersen, professor in environmental economics at Aarhus University, Denmark, will talk about social and economic benefits and values from NbS at the urban scale, focusing on well-being and health values. She will show an example of a mixed method approach that considers the multiple values that we might assign to NbS on the benefits, importance and usefulness of NbS.

This webinar is part of Naturethon, citizen engagement initiative designed to tap into the collective understanding of NbS deployment. The call for nature-inspired ideas will close on September 30, 2024. The final survey is now open!
