ISOCARP-RTPI Webinar: Regional Planning for Resilient Natural Systems

Nature and nature-based solutions play a critical role in emission reduction, climate change adaptation and reversing biodiversity loss. To succeed, we must deploy these solutions swiftly and on a large scale. This makes the regional dimension of natural systems, whether existing or in need of regeneration, crucial to our future.
Join us for a Climate Resilience Planning event where we will explore two distinct regional systems at risk: fast-eroding coastlines and peri-urban green oases. We’ll discuss how urban expansion and climate change impact these areas, explore their value, and examine the role of planning instruments and digital twin technology in their preservation. Additionally, we will consider the cultural significance of these natural assets for future generations and inter-generational equity.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights into planning for the future of our natural systems.
