Diving into Nature-based Solution in the Network Nature event

Our colleagues from NeuroLandscape and ABUD recently returned from a productive and inspiring few days at the NetworkNature EU events in Brussels! The gathering featured insightful discussions, knowledge-rich panels, and interactive workshops, all reinforcing the central message: Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are not a luxury but an absolute necessity to tackle global challenges.

During the "Busting Myths" session, Neurolandscape poster on the Contemplative Landscape Model was exhibited alongside other NbS case studies, showcasing the importance of designing urban landscapes that enhance well-being and support biodiversity. This event centered on debunking common misconceptions related to ecosystem restoration and the role of nature in economic and societal transformation.

The session was filled with keynote speeches, myth-busting panels, and interactive workshops. Some of the thought-provoking questions posed during the event included:

“If we try to give nature a monetary value, do we value nature, or do we value money?”
“Are we too comfortable preaching to the converted?”

The event provided a fantastic opportunity for collaboration, sparking new ideas on how we can collectively push NbS forward through innovation and collective action.
