Dissemination
Networking
Synergies are created with the other EU projects, targeting nature-based solutions for air pollution mitigation, to exchange databases, best practices, protocols and experiences e.g. CLEVER Cities, Grow Green, URBAN GreenUP, Nature4Cities and VEG-GAP.
The Nature for city LIFE project aims at strengthening the integration of nature in Mediterranean cities. Through citizens’ involvement and awareness, the project will demonstrate benefits derived from nature in Mediterranean cities. Concrete measures will arise to counter the effects of climate change in cities.
