island. The addresses the complexities of the delicate balance between coastal communities and enhancing ecosystem Technological advancements were made during the course of this dynamic project to best translate complex analyses into user-friendly information to allow stakeholders to make informed decisions. Two specific methods we wish to highlight include the development of an integrated flood model ("Cloudburst"), storm surge and sea level rise, and the preparation of intricate scenario planning typologies illustrating nature-based solutions and community transformation. The project generated several innovative ideas regarding how best to serve a highly vulnerable community as they face present and future climate change related impacts. The session brings together Europe’s leading experts in nature-based solutions design, implementation and impact evaluation. The session presents the components of the NBS implementation cycle and offers participants an opportunity to engage in NBS discussions. Components of the NBS cycle discussed will include the identification of important stakeholders, co-creation, policy contexts, and means to strengthen and upscale nature-based interventions via monitoring and impact assessment. After the session, participants will be able to identify key stakeholders and steps necessary for targeted NBS implementation, performance and impact evaluation, and replication. Local experts can translate the session’s learning outcomes to local agendas and decision-making, and replicate the NBS implementation process for the local environmental, social and economic challenges. adaption solutions. addresses top modern ways of securing vital urban as well as creating value added projects in close cooperation with various stakeholders to improve city livability.
