How to integrate nature in densely built environments in cities, and in already existing buildings? A recent analysis of Horizon 2020 projects has explored the potential of NBS for climate mitigation through reduced energy demand, for reducing the urban heat island effect, and for biodiversity. Actions such as green roofs and green walls are considered effective measures to ameliorate microclimate and reduce the energy consumption of a building.
Through the examples of Barcelona (Spain) and Malmö (Sweden), you’ll discover how cities can integrate nature and green infrastructures in the built environment to tackle climate adaptation!
