As city officials everywhere grapple with ways to emphasize sustainability and resiliency goals\, many are turning to nature-based solutions. These solutions can happen right where children are every day: in schools. There is growing momentum to transform school grounds into nature-filled spaces for learning and play\, and to enhance sustainable practices\, and climate resilience while improving health and education outcomes – especially for children most impacted by systems of inequity and environmental injustice. Join us to hear municipal leaders from across the globe gather to discuss lessons learned\, promising practices\, how greening schoolyards helps achieve multiple city goals\, and to have your questions answered. \nThis webinar is conducted by the Cities Connecting Children to Nature initiative\, a partnership between the National League of Cities and Children & Nature Network. Moderated by NLC CEO Clarence E. Anthony\, the event will feature leaders from Jundiaí\, Brazil and Antwerp\, Belgium plus leaders from CCCN cities in the US.

In response\, local governments are taking important steps to become more resilient through sustainability measures that lower their emissions as well as through investments in green infrastructure and nature-based solutions to reduce risk\, with increased support from state and federal loans and grants. As towns and cities begin to reprioritize their budgets towards sustainability and resilience\, the projects that result from these investments present invaluable opportunities to foster children-nature connections. Children with regular access to nature gain multiple forms of support for healthy development through active outdoor play and learning to redress the “nature deficit disorder” that has resulted from too much childhood time spent inside. \nCities Connecting Children to Nature initiative (CCCN) and Regional Plan Association (RPA) recently conducted a review of local and state resilience and sustainability plans and interviewed municipal officials and stakeholders throughout the New York metropolitan region to determine effective ways to bridge goals of resilience\, sustainability\, and children-nature connections. \nPlanning\, sustainability\, resilience\, and other municipal professionals in the tri-state area are invited to hear from city leaders who have been integrating children’s nature connection into their sustainability and resilience planning and a discussion of how you can make similar connections in your community. \nNOTE: This event is targeted toward municipal professionals in the tri-state area (New York\, New Jersey and Connecticut).
