Mitigating Urban Floods with Nature-base Solitions

Nature-Based Solutions to Reduce Urban Flooding Risks from Stormwater: Green Infrastructure Innovations Making a Difference

Cities worldwide are facing growing risks from extreme weather and urban flooding. But solutions are emerging. Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) including rain gardens, green roofs, bio-retention swales, and blue-green infrastructure are proving to be low-energy, climate-resilient strategies that also deliver multiple community benefits.

In this IURC NA webinar on NbS, we will explore how leading cities are putting innovation into practice:

• How mandated requirements are being implemented at scale in large cities.
• How other cities are experimenting with new techniques and engaging citizens to reshape urban practices.

This webinar is your opportunity to:

• Learn from a Canadian perspective on how these approaches can be transferred and tailored to local contexts.
• Engage directly with speakers in an interactive Q&A on challenges, solutions, and lessons learned.
• Discover peer networks, standards, and policy frameworks driving NbS adoption across Europe and globally.
