👥🌦 We’re at the halfway point of our CONE project! 🛠️💧 So far, we’ve made great strides in finding Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to manage and retain rainwater across Central European municipalities. But the journey is far from over! 🚶♀️🚶♂️ 🏙️ Local Living Labs have been launched in each pilot city — including our amazing city buddies in Jászberény and Poljcane. These Living labs bring together local stakeholders to co-create solutions for climate-related rainwater challenges 🌧️➡️🌱. 🌦️ Central Europe is facing extreme weather — from droughts to heavy rains — impacting our urban environments. That’s why our work is so important! 💪 📚 So far, we’ve: ✅ Developed a joint Living Lab methodology ✅ Integrated ICT tools into planning ✅ Held 2 rounds of capacity-building trainings for Living Lab coordinators ✅ Officially kicked off Living Labs in all pilot cities 🔮 What’s next? We’ll continue the Living Labs, move into planning and implementation, and host diverse events to build networks and connect NbS experts 🤝🌿. We’re also starting work on policy influence to ensure lasting impact across Central Europe 🏛️📜. 📢 Stay tuned for more updates from our journey — exciting things are ahead! 🚀 #cone #naturebasedsolutions #naturebasedsolution #nbs #InterregCE #eufunding #eufunds #eugreendeal #naturerestorationlaw #nature #environment #participation #participatory #participatorydesign #citizenempowerment #citizenengagement #citizenparticipation #UrbanLivingLab #biodiversitygovernance #citizenscience #climatechange #climateresilience #greenprojects #BURST #BURSTgroup
