Nature-Based Solutions for Climate-Resilient Cities: Digital Tools for Decision-Makers

Date

 22 May 2025 at 14:00–15:30 CET (13:00 BST / 15:00 EET)

Background

The Climate Adaptation Platform (CAP) webinar series builds on the discussions and potential collaborations initiated during the February 2024 webinar, which brought together EC-funded projects and CAPs. Since then, the webinars have focussed on key challenges and opportunities for fostering synergies and collaborations between EC projects and CAPs, connecting online knowledge to policy and practice, and measuring the impact of platforms.

The webinar series aims to support climate adaptation platforms by sharing knowledge, building collaborations, and linking national and sub-national efforts and online knowledge/tools at different scales.

Summary

This Adaptation AGORA Webinar, will explore highly relevant digital platforms empowering cities to implement nature-based solutions (NBS) to solve urban adaptation challenges on local level. Discover tools that help urban planners, policymakers, and innovators design climate-resilient strategies—from global best practices to actionable methodologies with transferable insights.

• Global & Local Insights: Learn from platforms curating global best practices tailored for municipalities (including France-based examples with universal applications).
• Decision-Making Tools: See how digital platforms help cities prioritize, and scale NBS.
• Overcoming Barriers: Key challenges in NBS adoption—and how to turn them into opportunities.
• Scalability: Strategies to adapt these solutions to your city’s unique context.
