How Bruges is addressing climate adaptation: solutions for graywater and cloudburst challenges with nature-based approaches

A goal for Södertälje is to create a healthy and attractive city by focusing on biodiversity, resilient infrastructure and sustainable urban planning. To do so, citizen engagement in greening public and private spaces is essential, and Södertälje seeks to build strong evidence and arguments to motivate political support for these efforts. The city decided to learn from Bruges’ expertise in biodiversity, nature-based solutions, climate adaptation, and effective communication strategies for engaging citizens and stakeholders.
