Building Resilient Cities: The role of urban NbS for climate change mitigation and adaptation

Urbanization rates are rapidly increasing worldwide, compounding climate risks and exacerbating vulnerabilities in cities. This causes an urgent need for implementation of urban Nature-based Solutions (NbS) that can enhance cities’ ability to adapt to climate change while limiting emissions.
To address this need, the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, in collaboration with the Danish Nature-based Solutions Knowledge Platform, hosted the event “Building Resilient Cities: The Role of Urban Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation”, on June 26th, 2024.
This hybrid event brought together stakeholders from urban development sectors in Denmark and globally to enhance understanding and coordination of nature-based solutions for urban climate mitigation and adaptation amidst rapid urbanisation and climate change and to foster collaboration to improve funding, scaling, and implementation.
