We are delighted to invite you to the inaugural Summit of the Forum. The Summit aims to align synergies, foster dialogue, share knowledge and learnings, and increase awareness on nature-based solutions and its role in shaping resilient Indian cities. The day-long event will bring together government, private and non-profit actors, from across the urban nature-based solutions ecosystem, and host a wide variety of sessions including panel discussions, hands-on workshops, exhibition, awards and more. A detailed agenda will be shortly forthcoming.

One of the key agendas of the summit will include highlighting innovative NbS initiatives demonstrating impact across three categories:

1. Implementation: Pilot projects, products or solutions that test new and innovative ways to design and implement urban NbS in Indian cities.
2. Enablers: Research, data and analytics, governance structures and partnerships, technology or policy that enables NbS implementation.
3. Champions: Individuals or organisations that have been showing leadership, inspiring action and helping move the needle on urban NbS.
