Join the Nature-based Solutions Symposium: Who benefits, who decides, who pays?

Despite their potential, the adoption of Nature-based Solutions has been piecemeal and nowhere near the scale needed to address the societal challenges we face. Join researchers, practitioners and policymakers at the Nature-based Solutions Symposium June 2026 to explore four crucial questions for enabling NbS to tackle pressing societal and environmental challenges: Who benefits? Who decides? Who pays? What’s missing? Earlybird registration open until 27th May 2026. April 28, 2026
Description coming soon
The symposium will identify evidence, knowledge, and gaps, explore blockers to mainstreaming Nature-based Solutions.

Despite their potential, the adoption of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) has been piecemeal and nowhere near the scale needed to address the societal challenges we face.

The Nature-based Solutions Symposium June 2026 will focus on four crucial questions for enabling NbS to tackle pressing societal and environmental challenges:

  • Who benefits?
  • Who decides?
  • Who pays?
  • What’s missing?

Convened by the British Ecological Society

NbSI’s Director Prof Nathalie Seddon will deliver a keynote on transforming nature-based solutions through relational and transdisciplinary approaches that connect ecology, the social sciences, Indigenous and local knowledge systems, and the arts.

Explore the full agenda: BES Nature-based Solutions Symposium 2026

Join researchers, policy makers and practitioners at the BES symposium to examine who benefits from NbS, how decisions are made, what funding models work, and the skills and evidence that are still missing to scale delivery.
