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
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.
Find out more about the second edition of the Naturethon initiative “Seeds of Change — Citizens Growing a Nature-Based Future,” watch back the experts’ webinars and explore the materials available to inspire a tangible change in local communities.
Our ambition
NATURANCE project aims to encourage adoption of jointly elaborated equity principles, performance metrics and recommended approaches to analysis and design, in accordance with the EU framework for sustainable finance and the Just Transition Mechanism. To this end we will stimulate dialogues, knowledge sharing and mutual learning across different areas of policy and practice
The main objective of the NATURANCE project is translated into specific detailed and measurable objectives
Connecting existing major knowledge networks and fostering cross-domain knowledge
Seeking to assess existing and explore new areas for equitable insurance and investment solutions
Analysing policy and governance conditions that are conducive to sustainable and equitable innovative green insurance
Analysing models, methods, scenarios and metrics used for assessing risk-reduction performance of NbS
Build awareness and capabilities for green financial innovations, so to creating conditions for inclusive and transformative change
