EU Horizon 2020 Connecting Nature project is €12m EU-funded project, coordinated by Trinity College Dublin. It is a consortium of 30 partners within 16 European countries, and hubs in Brazil, China, Korea & The Caucasus (Georgia and Armenia). The project aims to establish Europe as a global leader in rethinking the way nature can be used more effectively in our cities.
There is growing recognition and EU-wide investment in smart, 'engineered' nature-based solutions designed to bring more nature and natural processes to cities, landscapes and seascapes. These innovative solutions help to improve urban environments but equally importantly they have significant potential to create sustainable jobs in urban communities and to enhance the health and well-being of our citizens.
