UrbanByNature
UrbanByNature is a facilitated capacity-building program promoting exchange among cities, researchers, SMEs, and NGOs to build bridges with the Nature-Based Solutions communities across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and other regions that are interested. The program is powered by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, and the EU-funded projects Connecting Nature and CLEVER Cities.
UrbanByNature has been launched in five regional hubs worldwide: Brazil, Korea, the Caucasus, China, and Spain. Participation is open and free of charge with new opportunities coming up regularly for other regions worldwide.
