Brussels, 09 September 2026
Registration is now open for NetworkNature Week 2026, taking place 2–5 November 2026 as part of the Nature-based Solutions (NbS) International Congress 2026 in Paris.
The Nature-based Solutions International Congress 2026 brings together more than 500 participants across the nature-based solutions community. This includes researchers, practitioners, city and region representatives, national and EU authorities, policy-makers, local and international organisations, investors, businesses, and civil society.
NetworkNature gathers NbS practitioners and advocates every year to exchange on current policy developments and best practices. In 2026, the event will span an entire week and will offer workshops, presentations, and city-targeted capacity building - all focused on how to shape resilient futures with nature. The programme is supported by contributions from cities, public authorities, researchers and organisations. Selected contributions are featured during NetworkNature Week through speaking opportunities or the Future Postcards exhibition, with municipalities taking center stage at the Cities Festival.
The programme includes:
- 2 November: Science–Policy Dialogue: Looking Forward: Nature Restoration
- 3 November: NetworkNature Annual Event 2026: Futures with Nature
- 4 November: Nature-based Solutions Cities Festival, hosted in collaboration with UNP+ and the City of Paris
- 5 November: NetworkNature Task Forces Cluster Meeting (members only)
Travel funding may be available for select cities to attend the Cities Festival on November 4.
