NATURE-DEMO highlights nature-based solutions at the EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change event

NATURE-DEMO recently brought its expertise in nature-based solutions to the forefront at the EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change event.

The project's contribution to building climate-resilient infrastructure through nature-based solutions was presented, emphasizing the collaborative spirit of the initiative. NATURE-DEMO unites 23 partners across Europe with a shared goal: to mainstream these vital ecological approaches.

A key aspect of the presentation focused on bridging the knowledge gap surrounding the multifaceted benefits of nature-based solutions and addressing the perceived economic uncertainties associated with their longer-term implementation. The project actively fosters co-design and collaboration with regional and local authorities to facilitate the adoption of these sustainable practices.

The impact of NATURE-DEMO is further amplified through five demonstrator sites located in Austria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Northern Macedonia. These real-world examples showcase the tangible advantages and co-benefits of nature-based solutions in creating climate-resilient infrastructure.

NATURE-DEMO's participation in this significant EU event underscores its dedication to advancing nature-based solutions as a cornerstone of climate change adaptation strategies across Europe. We invite you to follow our journey and explore the transformative potential of these ecological solutions!"

  • Bioswales: green channels that slow the flow

    Bioswales are a linear rainwater run-off retention system designed as a shallow, gently sloping non-concrete channel (allowing for water infiltration). This system basically captures, retains and slowly releases the water run-off and direct rainwater into a conventional piping drainage system and/or the air (evapotranspiration) and soil (infiltration) media.

  • Rain gardens: turning autumn rain into an ally

    Autumn brings long spells of rain, and with them come flooded streets, blocked drains and overloaded sewers. In a city covered by asphalt, rooftops and paving, rainwater has nowhere to soak in, so it rushes towards the drainage network all at once. Rain gardens offer a simple, attractive and evidence-based alternative.
