More information
Climate change and its consequences are now increasingly on the agenda, pushing us to find solutions as quickly as possible. To this end, an important sector of research deals with mitigating the effects of global warming by finding solutions in nature itself, the so-called “nature-based solutions”. On 9 October 2024, at the Ecomuseo Mare Memoria Viva, an afternoon of in-depth study and training on these issues will be held, offered as part of the European euPOLIS project which aims to improve public health in cities and redevelop urban areas by introducing solutions based on nature in planning practices. The experts will explain, also showing cases in which these solutions have been applied, how nature can help us to improve and protect biodiversity and promote urban regeneration thanks to BLUE (water) and GREEN (plant life) solutions in urban spaces , promoting people’s well-being in terms of improving climatic, ecological and socio-economic conditions. The philosophy of euPOLIS is deeply based on the participation of citizens in urban planning processes, which is why, during the event, the technical-economic feasibility project of the future Villa Turrisi park in Palermo will be presented, giving those present the opportunity to provide feedback.
