The Nature Conservancy is a global conservation organization dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by science, TNC works to scale innovative solutions to the world’s toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. This mission includes extensive efforts to scale natural infrastructure solutions through policy action and on-the-ground project work, frequently in collaboration with diverse partners across multiple sectors. This Knowledge Seminar will give an overview of TNC’s efforts to scale the use of natural infrastructure solutions. Presenters will detail two case studies of innovative projects from Georgia and Illinois and discuss the extensive co-benefits the projects are providing to people and nature. The information presented in the Knowledge Seminar will offer a template for how implementing partners can work across sectors to scale effective, innovative natural infrastructure solutions.
