– Scratching the Surface In the Spotlight: Using Nature-based Solutions for Climate AdaptationUrban areas are and will be severely hit by the effects of climate change where the specific impacts on each city will depend on the actual changes in climate experienced. Sudden effects include extreme weather events such as flooding, and incremental long-term effects could be warmer summers. By explorin

BECC Grand Seminars constitute a place where different perspectives of a topic, often related to current policy development or of other societal relevance, are brought up and discussed. That is, the seminars link either research and policy development or different research fields. In 2022-2023 the seminars focused on the IPCC AR6 new reports, the CBD COP15 and on environmental policy development a
