The ACTonNBS Initiative is designed to increase Nature Based Solutions (NBS) uptake. We also have the challenge to establish a growing and sustainable innovation ecosystem. In this system we bring together cities, researchers and experts to support innovative scale up of NBS in cities, countries and internationally.
Lack of capacities, knowledge and network to tackle societal challenges in European cities and regions.
Cities and regions are looking for systemic solutions to cope with the immense challenge of the far-reaching impacts and consequences of climate change. Whether events can spell disaster for cities and the inhabitants in them. To help tackle this immense challenge EIT Climate-KIC as set up the innovation system Nature-Based City Initiative.
The project identifies challenges in its city/regional network and builds capacities that enable stakehodlers to develop Nature-Based Solutions projects that tackle climate related challenges such as extreme heat and flooding.
