Nature-based Solutions International Congress

Shaping a Resilient Future for People and Nature

through Knowledge and Action

📅 3 – 6 November 2026

📍 Sorbonne University, 4 Place Jussieu, 75005 Paris

At a time when profound and transformative change is urgently required to address the intertwined crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and growing social inequalities, the Nature-based Solutions International Congress will position Paris as a global focal point for advancing Nature-based Solutions (NbS). From November 3 to 6, 2026, at Sorbonne University in Paris, France, the Congress will bring together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, urban leaders, businesses, investors, and civil society actors from around the world.

Conceived as a convergence space, the Congress aims to accelerate the global NbS agenda by fostering dialogue across science, governance, finance, and implementation. Organized by the French National Research Program on Nature-based Solutions (SOLU-BIOD), NetworkNature, UNP+ and Sorbonne University in partnership with Biodiversa+, UrbanByNature, City of Paris and some others, it aims to create a decisive moment of alignment across science, governance, and implementation, strengthening synergies and amplifying the international impact of NbS.

The event will take place at the Pierre and Marie Curie Campus of the Sorbonne University. It is located at 4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris and is easily accessible:
