How can cities finance nature-based solutions (NbS) to combat rising urban heat?

This #CoolTalks session from UNEP’s Cool Coalition brings together global experts to explore practical strategies and financing pathways for implementing NbS at scale.

Topics include:

• Aligning national biodiversity strategies with urban cooling goals

• Public-private financing models for NbS in cities

• Tools to design and scale passive, climate-resilient infrastructure

This online event is open to all and will feature a live Q&A session.

The NBSAP Accelerator Partnership is a country-led initiative to accelerate the implementation of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), raise their political profile, and drive collective action for nature. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection (BMUV) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), through the global project “GBF Implementation,” implemented by GIZ. Its work is facilitated by a Global Coordination Unit (GCU) hosted by UNEP, UNDP and the Secretariat of the CBD.
