The Accelerator is a joint offering of Center for Regenerative Solutions, Trust for Public Land, Urban Sustainability Directors Network, City of Boulder, and the Vanguard Cities Initiative.
Background
Over the last three years, a broad consortium of cities, counties, and nonprofit organizations working with and through the Urban Sustainability Directors Network and Center for Regenerative Solutions have been growing a body of knowledge and best practices associated with urban nature-based climate solutions. As a next step in growing this essential field of climate action, the Center for Regenerative Solutions and its partners are launching the next stage in capacity building and technical assistance to communities ready to begin or expand their nature-based climate action efforts.
The Urban Nature-Based Climate Solutions Accelerator will provide participating communities with the latest information, tools and systems, and guidance from leading experts in the emerging field of community-centered, equity-centered nature-based climate solutions. The Accelerator will guide participating communities through a sequence of developmental steps designed to support the development of locally customized urban nature-based climate strategies in three specific climate risk/nature-based solution areas.
