URWAN Enabler Pack: Tools and Resources for Urban NbS and GBI
Provides local authorities with practical resources to plan, design, and implement effective urban nature-based solutions at all levels (policy, governance, technical). The package consists of four complementary tools that enable cities to tackle climate resilience in a structured and robust manner: a training programme; a catalogue of NBS; a set of Guidelines (Start Park Guidelines), offering a replicable framework for communities to co-design urban nature-based solutions; and a NBS checklist to help practitioners address all the key elements needed to implement these solutions.
