NATURETHON | Seeds of Change: Citizens Growing Nature-Based Futures
Naturethon is back! After a successful first round and the Naturethon+ parallel series, the second edition of the Naturance citizen engagement initiative kicks off. Naturethon brings citizens together to explore Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and spark meaningful dialogue between communities.
The session will introduce the initiative, its structure, and what participants will achieve. Individual participants will be assigned to working groups, and existing groups will be presented.
- Andrea Staccione (CMCC) will dive into NbS, covering what they are, their benefits, and how they are applied in the real world.
- Luciana Favaro (Climate Pact Ambassador & EuCliPa.IT president) will highlight inspiring stories and best practices of citizen engagement in local decision-making.
After the presentations, participants will engage in the first 45-minute collaborative work session using an online collaborative board to start developing their own NbS ideas.
