Svetlana Khromova presented the first step of an integrated approach to informed Nature Based Solutions (NBS) at the CONEXUS Conference. The CONEXUS conference took place in Barcelona from May 15th to 17th, which aims to share the knowledge about nature-based urban solutions as a tool for urban planners.
El passat dijous 23 de maig en Sergi Ventura va participar al Cafè Prismàtic coordinat pel CREAF. Prismàtic organitza seminaris virtuals mensuals que tenen com a objectiu transferir coneixement científic sobre gestió i planificació del patrimoni natural i la biodiversitat. Catalunya Ràdio també en va fer ressò.
Alba Badia showed a poster on “Modelling the effects of land use changes on the urban air quality: urbanization, urban vegetation, and agriculture” in which she discussed the air quality changes between the reference scenario and the scenarios that have been designed by the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB)’s office of urban planning.
Title: Closing the nutrient cycle in urban areas: The use of municipal solid waste in peri-urban and urban agriculture/ This research aims to determine the potential of organic municipal solid waste compost to supply the nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium demand of urban agriculture and the environmental benefits of replacing mineral fertilizer from a life cycle perspective.
Title: Modeling air quality at urban scale in the city of Barcelona: A matter of green resolution/ This paper presents the behavior of the most common pollutants and how they are dispersed as a result of different meteorological conditions in the city of Barcelona, as well as the impact of green infrastructures on urban morphology.
Two URBAG presentations were shared at the conference by Ricard Segura-Barrero and Sergi Ventura. Both presentations followed the platform for Early Career Scientists (ECS). The first one was presented by Ricard Segura in the session "Urban climate, urban biometeorology, and science tools for cities". The second, presented by Sergi Ventura, was held in the session "Regional to local climate change, processes, impacts, and extremes".

Title: The Food-Water-Climate Nexus of Green Infrastructure: Examining Ecosystem Services Trade-Offs of Peri-Urban Agriculture / This paper explores the impacts on the food-water-climate nexus of different scenarios of peri-urban agricultural expansion in a semi-arid, Mediterranean climate, addressing local food provision, freshwater use, local temperature regulation, global climate change mitigation, and the trade-offs thereof.
Green roofs in Oslo by 2030: Stakeholder workshop for co-creating a common understanding of green roofs’ impacts and relevance for the city / An online participatory workshop was conducted involving various stakeholders from the public, academic, and private sectors. URBAG has undertaken the challenge of creating new green spaces within urban environments by evaluating how green roofs can impact local and global vulnerabilities.
