Promoting Urban Nature-based Solutions and Green Infrastructure in Turkey

The Nature and Cities project commenced in April 2019 with the objective of enhancing dialogue, know-how and cooperation between civil society organisations in Turkey and the Netherlands. Funded by the Supporting Civil Society Dialogue Between EU and Turkey Grant Scheme (CSD-V), the project aims to promote ecosystem services, nature-based solutions (NbS) and green infrastructure (GI) in cities as effective measures for climate change adaptation. The project also seeks to raise awareness on the environmental benefits of EU membership. The project has consisted in a number of interventions, meetings, workshops, and reports in both Turkey and the Netherlands that seek to stimulate dialogue, collaboration and knowledge exchange around NbS and GI topics in each country.
