Sustainable Use of Land and Nature-Based Solutions (External)

This Orientation Paper sets the background for the work of the Urban Agenda Partnership on Sustainable Use of Land and Nature-based Solutions (SUL_NBS). It includes the specific challenges to be addressed and the description of main topics that characterize the Partnership. Works of the Partnership consider vast diversity in the density of urban populations, and differences in economic, social, environmental and spatial backgrounds, that result in various urban priorities and policy responses across Member States. Nevertheless, many of the issues and challenges outlined in this document are shared among European Urban Areas and many urban authorities across EU are undertaking various measures to deal with them. This document describes objectives and working arrangements of the Partnership, including deliverables and meetings in order to prepare, adopt and implement the Action Plan.
