New Book Release - Nature-Based Solutions in Cities of the Global South

The book explores how the practice of nature-based solutions (NbS) can address climate challenges and enhance urban resilience in rapidly growing cities of the Global South. Through a series of international case studies, it discusses region-specific challenges, opportunities, and pathways for integrating NbS into urban planning and design.

At this event, Masoumeh Mirsafa will provide a short summary of the book and then engage in a roundtable discussion with a panel of experts and the audience on the opportunities and challenges of implementing NbS in cities of the Global South.
