Dear all
the CLEARNG HOUSE project (www.clearinghouseproject.eu) has launched two calls for local authorities that want to take advantage of the knowledge gathered in the project.
A first call is for cities that want to participate in a city tandem, and will learn from peer cities on how to implement urban forests as nature-based solutions.
The second call is for cities that want to be visited by a task force including CLEARING HOUSE experts. During the task force, a quick scan of societal challenges will be made, and the experts will formulate an action plan for implementing urban forests as nature-based solutions.
About the City Tandem exchange mechanism
The global objective of the City Tandem is to promote capacity development and exchange of knowledge and practices on urban forests as nature-based solutions (UF-NBS), based on peer-to-peer exchanges. It aims to foster international links at the local level, enabling local leaders to gain new perspectives on UF-NBS. Local authorities (cities, metropolises or regions) wishing to exchange with another local administration facing similar challenges on planning and managing urban forests are encouraged to apply.
More about the City Tandem Call and the application process here<https://clearinghouseproject.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Call-City-Tandem…>.
About the Task Force exchange mechanism
The global objective of the Task Force is to offer the opportunity to a selected local authority to receive scientific support regarding UF-NBS challenges from the CLEARING HOUSE experts partners. This support will include a review of the challenge stated, research for gaining more in-depth insight in the challenge in the specific territory of the local authority, and an action plan for implementing the suggested solutions.
More about the Task Force Call and the application process here<https://clearinghouseproject.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Call-Task-Force.…>.
For any local authorities wishing to participate in the call for interest, please contact Mr. Guillaume Berret.<https://clearinghouseproject.eu/2022/03/01/clearing-house-first-calls-for-t…>
