International challenges on climate change adaptation: exploring the role of nature-based solutions for resilient, inclusive, and climate-adaptive cities

This seminar explores how nature-based solutions support climate change adaptation in urban contexts.
Through research from Europe and Latin America, the presentations address effectiveness, inclusivity, policy, planning, design, and adaptation challenges in vulnerable and rapidly changing cities.
The seminar is an integral part of the Long-Term Visiting Professor agreement between Politecnico di Torino and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
