On 24 October 2024, the Policy Learning Platform is hosting the second episode of the webinar series 'Blue-green infrastructure for resilient cities'. Join us for the session on greening the urban landscape from 14:00 to 15:30 CEST.

Climate change is hitting European cities hard, with many unprepared for extreme weather. Blue-green infrastructure is a vital solution, combining water management and green spaces to boost urban resilience. It helps manage floods, reduce pollution, and combat heatwaves, while also improving air quality, biodiversity, and local microclimates. Plus, it enhances wellbeing and can even raise property values.

Following the first episode on Implementing blue infrastructure solutions for sustainable water management, this webinar will focus on green infrastructures. 

This series of webinars aims to inspire local and regional policy makers with practical examples of blue and green infrastructure.

Join us for the second episode and discover inspiring solutions, good practices, guidance and recommendations backed by real-life examples from European cities and regions from many Interreg Europe projects.
