This discussion meeting will bring together experts on nature-based solutions to discuss how they can support a healthy and resilient water environment, whilst delivering multiple benefits for people and nature. 

Each speaker will provide a short presentation exploring their views on the role of nature-based solutions in delivering multiple benefits and how these can be delivered in practice. Speakers will touch on projects that have taken place both in the UK and internationally. 

We will then move into a panel discussion, where attendees will have the opportunity to pose their questions and hear more about the key enablers for developing and embedding nature-based solutions.

This event has been organised by the FWR’s Water Environment and Ecosystem Services Technical Panel, leading on previous work they have done on enabling nature-based solutions. 

The Foundation for Water Research (FWR) is an independent community of professionals from across the water sector and related scientific specialisms. The community comes together for deliberative discussion to support the development of interdisciplinary solutions to water challenges. Sign up to their free mailing list here.
