Details

The research program 'Urban Nature' aims to translate scientific insights at the interface between climate, biodiversity and urban green space into usable tools and policy. By mapping urban nature, determining its diverse values and investigating policy instruments, we want to develop nuanced targets for urban nature that contribute to biodiverse, socially just and livable cities. The working group of the Urban Nature research programme has the following tasks: * Contribute to INBO's multi-annual planning around this theme * Exchange about ongoing research on this theme within the various research teams, about project proposals in preparation, about interesting conferences, ... * Coordinate the delivery of INBO responses to recommendation and policy questions * Exchanging information on relevant matters from consultations with third parties * Formulating proposals to the management for priorities around this theme at INBO * Contributing to new project proposals around this theme, both internally and externally funded For more information regarding the INBO Urban Nature Working Group, please contact Sander Jacobs (sander.jacobs@inbo.be) and Julie Callebaut (julie.callebaut@inbo.be).
