We are pleased to invite you to CEEweb for Biodiversity’s upcoming event ‘CEEWEB ACADEMY ON GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE – PRESERVING OUR NATURAL CAPITAL: POLICY AND PRACTICE’ on 6-7 October 2014 in Budapest, Hungary.

Green Infrastructure is a holistic tool to tackle habitat loss while
contributing to smart and sustainable socio-economic growth. It
provides us with solutions for a better quality environment, a
healthier society and a more prosperous economy.

Green Infrastructure is especially important to the European Union due
to its potential to help us preserve and enhance ecosystem services
and adapt to climate change in a multi-stakeholder setting.

Under Target 2 of the 2020 Biodiversity Strategy, the EU committed
itself to deploy green infrastructure and restore a minimum of 15% of
Europe’s degraded ecosystems. With this year’s CEEweb Academy we would
like to draw attention to GI policy, its implementation and the
possibilities for cross-sectorial cooperation.

The Academy aims to bring together public officers, policy makers,
non-governmental organizations and personalities from the academic
world to share and discuss experience and inspire new ways of thinking
for a more efficient preservation of our natural capital in Central
and Eastern Europe in light of the most recent EU initiatives.

The conference will consist of three blocks of presentations on key
topics (GI spatial integration, GI at various scales and GI sectorial
integration) followed by both group and panel discussion.
