Event Date: 29/05/2024
Venue: Brussels and Online

Join us at the Press Club in Brussels or online on May 29th at 9:00 for an engaging discussion hosted by the Living Rivers Europe NGO coalition as part of the EU Green Week. We’ll be focusing on the vital topic of water storage and climate resilience.

The event will be moderated by Chris Baker, Wetlands International Europe’s director. Our Freshwater Manager, Paul Brotherton, will be one of the panellists and present our work on natural sponges. The event will feature the different perspectives and experiences of the European Commission, Belgian Presidency and other key stakeholders, including the private sector, government and land owners.

Come and be part of the conversation to understand the benefits of nature-based solutions in addressing climate hazards such as floods, droughts, and wildfires.
