The Climate Action team in Offaly County Council have been working with NBS EduWORLD for some time now and will be collaborating with local teachers in schools to learn about the importance of nature-based solutions, as the importance of a sustainable environment is ever growing.
NBS EduWORLD is funded by the European Union and aims to help facilitate the integration of Nature-Based Solutions into the education system. The main goals of the project are to enable a community of Nature-based solution professionals and education providers to effectively teach/incorporate NBS into the schooling environment, ensuring free and easy access to high quality NBS knowledge and resources.
The programme is rolled out in a step-by-step process with the continued guidance and support of the Climate Action Team in Offaly County Council.
What is Nature-Based Solutions?
NBS are ‘solutions inspired and supported by nature, which are cost-effective, simultaneously provide environmental, social and economic benefits and help build resilience. NBS benefit biodiversity and support a range of ecosystem services.’
