The third 2025 Naturethon webinar delves into insurance tools and financial strategies for Nature-based Solutions (NbS). Featuring insights from Lenka Slavikova, University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic, and Land4Climate project, and Jaroslav Mysiak, CMCC and NATURANCE project coordinator, the event offers Naturethon participants an overview of alternative financing systems and best practices in bottom-up NbS implementation, drawing on the expertise and outcomes of both projects.

The session will begin with Lenka Slavikova presenting the NbS Alternative Financing Guide, an interactive resource designed specifically for practitioners who are aiming to deploy NbS solutions in their communities. From municipalities and public authorities to NGOs, land managers, and private contractors, the document – developed in the context of the Land4Climate project – guides key stakeholders into expanding their financial efforts beyond public funding.

Next, Jaroslav Mysiak will present some of the NATURANCE’s results in bridging the gap between insurance and nature under changing climate conditions, highlighting financial tools that promote a local, collaborative, ecosystem-based approach to increase community resilience and preparedness.

The webinar will conclude with an interactive session, where Naturethon participants and groups will discuss financial strategies and key actors and stakeholders to support their Nature-based solutions proposals, exchange ideas, foster collaboration and finalize their project for real-world impact.

The first two Naturethon webinars featured a deep dive into key NbS and an overview of effective tools and engagement strategies to climate-proof local communities. Participants gained a comprehensive understanding of NbS benefits through expert contributions and success stories, designed to inspire the translation of concepts into action.

The Naturethon “Seeds of Change — Citizens growing a Nature-based Future” is an initiative developed by the CMCC Foundation within the framework of the NATURANCE project. It engages citizen groups with the concept and opportunities of Nature-based Solutions (NbS), fostering constructive dialogue within European communities (and beyond).
