Nature-based Solutions for meteorological-hydrological risk mitigation: Applications and prospects.

Nature-based Solutions for meteorological-hydrological risk mitigation: Applications and prospects.

When

19 June 2024    
9:00 - 13:00

Where

The RECONECT project (09/2018 – 08/2024) contributes to improving the European reference framework of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) for the reduction of meteorological-hydrological risk in natural and rural areas.

The project is based on a network of pilot sites, EU and non-EU, which compete with the aim of innovating land management, pursuing objectives of both meteorological-hydrological risk reduction and local and regional development and protection of biodiversity.

RECONECT wants to demonstrate the effectiveness of a sustainable approach to weather-hydrological risk mitigation through NbS interventions for flood prevention and slope stabilization, integrated with environmental monitoring activities and stakeholder involvement. The Portofino Regional Park represents the pilot project site for Italy.

The Second Italian RECONECT Workshop aims to be an opportunity for project partners and stakeholders to meet to share current experiences and future visions on the application of NbS at a national level.
