Invitation Hybrid Session, November 13: Design-driven Project Preparation for Green and Resilient Cities

How can design-driven approaches help move projects from fragmented development toward systemic change?

On Thursday, 13 November 2025, join the hybrid session on how early-stage, design-driven approaches can shape integrated, holistic solutions, including those that leverage Nature-Based Solutions (NbS).

Drawing from participatory design initiatives in Colombia and Kenya, the session will highlight how inclusive and design-led methods can unlock collaboration and enable more sustainable, climate-resilient outcomes.

This event is organized in collaboration with the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), the Global Program on Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Resilience, and the Dutch Government, where Water as Leverage is housed.

18:00 – 19:30 CET, Thursday November 13
