Join Paula Vandergert and guests for this webinar where the principles underpinning community engagement as an integral part of delivering successful nature-based solutions are examined. We’ll look at case studies from two different perspectives – how to reach the hardest communities, and successful engagement of multiple stakeholders to achieve common consensus. Followed by an open discussion and Q & A on supporting wider adoption of community engagement processes as part of the development, delivery and stewardship of nature-based solutions.
