Enhance nature to help people adapt to change and disasters

Assessing feasibility and performance of solutions built on disaster risk financing and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) investments

Naturethon

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are gaining momentum as communities across Europe explore new ways to address climate risks and create greener futures.

The NATURANCE project has been working closely with citizen groups to understand how innovative financing can support these solutions in practical, impactful ways. As part of this effort, NATURANCE launched the Naturethon Initiative — a space where citizens, community groups, and non-experts can exchange ideas, explore opportunities, and co-develop local nature-inspired solutions.
