The most significant event dedicated to nature-based solutions has arrived!

This May, in Portugal, for the first time ever.

The ANCV – Associação Nacional de Coberturas Verdes, has organized the Nature Based Solutions Summit on 23 – 24 May 2024! This leading interdisciplinary platform fosters discussions on nature-based solutions, construction, architecture, design, and engineering of the future in the national and international context. Discover the latest trends, technological advancements, and practical solutions shaping sustainable urban development and global market perspectives.

The NBS Summit aims to become a reference in sustainable architecture – looking at architecture and its relationship with the environment and sustainability. An innovative initiative in the national landscape that brings together research, science, municipalities, architecture and sustainability.

Embrace this opportunity to engage with pioneers, explore new materials, and drive the future of eco-centric urban living.
