Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Resilience

The German-American Nature-Based Solutions Exchange (GANBASE) brings experts to New Orleans to discuss coastal resilience and restoration

About this Event

The German-American Nature-Based Solutions Exchange (GANBASE) offers stakeholders in the field of nature conservation and environmental protection the opportunity to exchange ideas on nature-based solutions (NbS) across the Atlantic.

GANBASE aims to exchange approaches and experiences; to present excellent research and lighthouse projects from Germany; to demonstrate the integration of NbS into local, regional and national policy in Germany, as well as ideas on how these can be anchored in the USA; and to draw attention to the economic and socio-political aspects of NbS.

The project is supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany, funded by the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE).
