The French National Research Program on Nature-based Solutions (SOLU-BIOD) is organizing for the first time in France an international conference dedicated to Nature-based Solutions.

This meeting will be held from November 3 to 6, 2026, at Sorbonne University in Paris, and will bring together nearly 500 researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers from the international NbS community. The objective: to exchange ideas on scientific advancements, operational practices, and public policies, in order to strengthen collaboration and knowledge sharing within the global network.

This international congress aims to create a bridge between science and action. It will equip researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to support ecological and territorial transitions, while strengthening co-construction with governments, businesses, and local communities, in order to advance Nature-based Solutions on an international scale.
