The NbS Italy Hub is a spontaneous association of research organizations, universities, research institutes, foundations, local authorities (such as municipalities, metropolitan cities and basin authorities), professional bodies and trade associations, governed by an agreement between the parties, at no cost to members. Bringing together the expertise and resources of the research community, the private sector, local governments and the public, it promotes a quadruple helix model of innovation and implementation aimed at building a national network that supports the knowledge and adoption of NbS on the Italian territory, with particular reference to the upcoming implementation of the Nature Restoration Law. The Hub was established through an agreement between CNR-IRET and ICLEI Europe, signed in February 2023, as part of the Horizon NetworkNature project.
