How Nature-based Solutions & urban trees can tackle our cities' growing issues.

Our cities are in trouble and it’s not just the climate crisis. Urban areas are facing multiple interconnected challenges, including the ecological crisis, the human health crisis, and the climate crisis. 

In this episode of SUGi Talks, we speak to Cecil Konijnendijk about how Nature-based Solutions, like our SUGi Pocket Forests, can help mitigate the growing issues in our cities. 

With over 30 years of experience studying, teaching and advising with the likes of the United Nations on urban forestry and the implementation of Nature-based Solutions, Cecil is passionate about using trees to develop better cities and always stresses the importance of building meaningful relationships between people and places. 

Together we uncover the barriers and challenges in implementing equitable green strategies in cities, and why it is so important.
