We attended the GoGreenRoutes final conference in Brussels

On July 2-3, 2024 we attended GoGreenRoutes final conference in Brussels. GoGreenRoutes is one of the 3 sister projects of our project, VARCITIES.

The event showcased the four projects achievements in integrating nature with health to improve urban living over the past four years.

The 2-day event featured a diverse line-up of speakers and panel discussions, including European Commission representatives working on Nature-based Solutions.

Our project manager Yoann Clouet was featured in a session on Policy Implications, where he notably highlighted the need to promote nature, health and well-being into urban development beyond research and innovation projects, notably through mainstreaming within regional and urban development funding. Specifically, he addressed the misalignment of the current funding framework where nature-based interventions do not necessarily meet the pre-required conditions for EU Cohesion Policy funding (ERDF), calling on for an update to the EU Green Infrastructure Strategy, which dates back to 2013.
