URBAG presentation at the CONEXUS Conference

Svetlana Khromova presented the first step of an integrated approach to informed Nature Based Solutions (NBS) at the CONEXUS Conference. The CONEXUS conference took place in Barcelona from May 15th  to 17th, which aims to share the knowledge about nature-based urban solutions as a tool for urban planners. Multiple studies adressing climate change adaptation and the conservation of biodiversity were presented at the conference.

Svetlana presented a social-ecological-technological vulnerability assessment under the risk approach. The presentation was entitled: “Navigating NBS integration: harnessing urban communities vulnerability mapping for informed priorization, insights from the NICHES project in Barcelona, Boston and Rotterdam”. Understanding the complex dynamics of water-related risks and piecing together the fragmented puzzle of hydrological hazard perception are key points of this work.
