Highlights from Bucharest Forum on NBS

On 2-3 October we were in Bucharest for the “Bucharest Forum on Nature-Based Solutions. Re-thinking the nature of cities”, an Horizon 2020 initiative by ThinkNature.

This successful 2-day event was the occasion to bring the topic of Nature-based Solutions in the Eastern-European context, focusing on city policies, business models and technical aspects. The mix of plenary sessions, parallel sessions, workshops, as well as city field trips and the presence of Romanian keynote speakers made possible to discuss the local challenges on NBS in an engaging and interactive way.

The Forum was also the perfect setting to officially present the ThinkNature Handbook on Nature-based Solutions,  a new state-of-the-art knowledge and comprehensive guide to all relevant actors involved.
