An EU-funded journey transforming climate action. We are at the forefront of developing transformative, NBS. By valuing both human and non-human needs, we fuse data-driven innovation with neuroscience to co-create a sustainable future. www.greenincities.eu
How are cities across Europe transforming through nature?
🌿 From citizen science to urban design, GreenInCities explores how people, places, and ecosystems can thrive together.

Partners walked pilot sites, mapped streets with locals, and shared how #NBS are transforming cities from Helsinki’s flying squirrels to Athens’ cat shelters.
We also joined the Venice Architecture Biennale , showing how design can listen to all forms of life.
Check our recap to know more!
🌿 Nature has no borders.
At our latest #GreenInCities consortium meeting in Nova Gorica, we explored how NbS are helping cities reconnect across borders, species, and communities.
From edible gardens to solar-powered kitchens, we’re seeing regeneration take root.

🌳❓ Why choose #nature?
Commit2Green partners are excited to join @greenincities.bsky.social, ReGreeneration Europe, URBREATH, & ClimaGen at the #NetworkNature Annual Event next week, as we share how Nature-based Solutions are a crucial part of building #resilience to #climate change.
If you’re attending, check out our shared display answering “Why Choose Nature?” and join us in discussing how resilience can be fostered through participatory greening.

GreenInCities will join the #NetworkNature Annual Event 2025 “Choose Nature” on 16 Sept in Brussels.
Together with sister projects #Regreeneration, #URBREATHE, @commit2green.bsky.social & #ClimAGen (Urban Greening and Renaturing cluster), we’ll highlight how #NbS drive resilience & prosperity.
This first version of the catalogue will keep growing as our pilot cities test new practices and support systems.

What if cities were designed not just for people, but also for trees, birds, fungi, and rivers?
Through co-design with experts, we’re working to:
– Integrate multispecies justice into planning
– Reframe infrastructure as living systems
– Support ecological connectivity in climate-neutral strategies
