Welcome to the second of this two-part seminar series arranged by NMBU's Centre for Landscape Democracy (CLaD):
Nature-based solutions: Opportunities and challenges
Friday 22 March 2024, Circus building, room 213 (Gamle styrerom), NMBU, Ås campus. 09:00-12:30
Register here (free event but registration is binding)
The aim of these two seminars is to initiate a transdisciplinary dialogue and address critical questions on the future of nature.
The evolving conceptualization and interpretation of nature (and rights to it) are interlinked in complex relationships that require moving across and beyond the disciplines.
CLaD members have identified two relevant themes:
i) interpretation/role of nature today in response to the climate crisis, changes in ecosystems and landscapes, and new urban densifications and
ii) new landscape, ecological and planning approaches to preserve nature and improve the quality of the urban environment in our cities (such as Nature-Based Solutions and related concepts such as Ecosystem Services and Green (Infra)Structures).
The seminar will examine current socio-spatial, landscape and environmental challenges from different perspectives (e.g., landscape planning and architecture, urban and regional planning, sociology, climatology, geography, public health, and property and law), as well as identify future research needs.
