Policy Forum on Nature-based Solutions (NbS)
Gather with Stantec’s NbS experts and a variety of agencies from Feb 7 to 8, 2024, for an inspirational and actionable discussion around enhancing the implementation and impact of NbS globally.

The Network for Engineering with Nature (N-EWN) and the National Academy of Sciences Gulf Research Program with the help of Stantec and others are hosting the first Policy Forum on NbS. This free, public event will bring together policymakers, regulators, practitioners, and academics involved in the funding, policymaking, design, and/or construction of NbS to participate in sessions centered on four focus areas:
- Financing
- Permitting
- Equity and Justice
- International Case Studies and Partnerships
