Workshop in Belgrade
Experiences from already implemented NBS were presented, indicating effects on nature and people that are already noticeable. Projects activities and results of the case studies developed by UNBELGR, the Tamnava river basin and the Likodra river basin (Municipality of Krupanj) were presented to the participants.
Significant time was devoted to the discussion on barriers for implementation of NBS and potential enablers for their overcoming. Through fruitful discussions and work in groups on particular barriers and enablers, the participants come up to the conclusions that could contribute to better understanding of NBSs and to finding solutions for their implementation.
The workshop was held in local language in order to facilitate communication among the participants and to foster involvement of local communities. There were about 60 participants. Information on the workshop was published on the web site of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and the University of Belgrade, as well in several media.
