Across Europe and Latin America many of our cities face the same challenges. By sharing our experience and knowledge we can learn from each other, identify and implement the right solutions for each landscape context.
Nature-based solutions and ecosystem restoration have the potential to enable cities to overcome many of the shared challenges they face, simultaneously providing environmental, social and economic benefits.
Cities and communities need evidence of long-term viability before investing in nature-based solutions and ecosystem restoration. The Conexus project is providing context-relevant evidence of the effects and long-term viability of these approaches.
Conexus is a four-year project that will provide accessible knowledge on how to restore natural ecosystems; improve the quality of life in and around cities; and support collaboration between Latin America and Europe. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
