International partnerships, social innovation and private sector involvement are vital for the development of nature-based solutions for greener cities.
The European Commission's Directorate-General for Research and Innovation and UN Environment’s Science Division co-organized a session on “nature-based solutions for greener cities” aimed at providing local communities with the means of creating a healthy environment.
The session took place at the third UN Environment Assembly’s Science-Policy-Business Forum on 3 December 2017. The panelists were: Paul Mahony, Creative Director at Oppla; Carlo Calfapietra, senior researcher at the Institute of Agro-Environmental and Forest Biology, National Research Council in Italy; and Erica Key, Executive Director of the Belmont Forum secretariat.
