Mitigating Urban Floods with NBS: Green infrastructure innovations making a difference.

On the 10th of September 2025, we had an engaging webinar on how Nature-based Solutions are no longer just a promising concept but they’re becoming essential tools in helping cities adapt to climate change. From reducing the impact of floods and droughts to cooling urban heat islands, green infrastructure is improving quality of life and making our cities more liveable, sustainable, and resilient. Across the globe, cities are emerging as hubs of innovation for NBS. When well designed and implemented, these solutions deliver a wide range of benefits — not only mitigating environmental risks but also enhancing community well-being and ecological health. Their growing adoption reflects a shift toward integrated, forward-looking urban planning. View how this interactive webinar showcases the leadership and practical experiences of Boston (USA) and Tampere (Finland) and Calgary (Canada). Discover how they are implementing innovative nature-based strategies to manage flood risks — and hear from a broader community of practitioners working together to share knowledge, scale solutions, and build resilient cities for the future.
