Bringing inclusion into practice
Nature-based solutions can improve urban resilience, environmental outcomes and quality of life. But who participates in their planning? Who has access? Who benefits?
This webinar brings together government, practitioners, civil society and gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) partners to share practical ways to address these questions.
It will also introduce the Inclusive and Equitable Urban Nature-based Solutions: A Practical Guide and summary brochure developed through the Australian Government-supported Resilient Urban Centres and Surrounds (RUCAS) program.
Hear from regional partners
Featuring speakers and panellists from:
Gender Development Association | Royal University of Phnom Penh | Souphanouvong University | Can Tho University | GRET | Cambodian Disabled People’s Organization | DP Hanoi
What we'll cover
- Why GEDSI is central to effective urban nature-based solutions
