Objectives:
Capacity-building: build the common infrastructure for knowledge exchange, sharing resources in transdisciplinary teams across CONEXUS Life Labs (exchanges, secondments, benchmarking and peer review).
Learning: Facilitate transnational partner-partner communities of learning involving citizens, supporting EU CELAC cities' cooperation in valorising and implementing nature-based solutions in local places and contexts.
Co-producing: Provide an ' engine-room' to develop impactful products from the strategic lessons learned between partners.
‘Hubbing-Sharing-Clustering’ will create opportunities to learn, share information, and develop and improve understanding of nature-based solutions. It will facilitate knowledge exchange between the Life-Labs and their partners about their local contexts, investment and business plans and developing ideas for scaling outwards and upwards. This knowledge will also be shared more widely, helping to inspire others.
The Oppla platform will be used to provide an open digital Engine-Room Forum for consortium partners to co-create knowledge, co-produce and stress-test new Conexus products.
Deliverable 6.1 report
Data on SDG/NUA impacts/potentials linked with investment propositions uploaded to OPPLA
This deliverable report presents the finding of T6.1’s research, demonstrating the yet untapped potential of NBS as policy instruments to localise sustainable development commitments and address intertwined societal challenges, from the climate and biodiversity crises to rising inequalities and health emergencies. It is meant to accompany seven case studies and city fiches which contextualise the evidence collected on NBS-SDG links.

Guiding Principles for Co-learning
The Co-learning Forum methodology is grounded in the Conexus Guiding Principles for Co-learning. These Guiding Principles for Co-learning is a practical framework which concretises five principles for transdisciplinary learning within NBS :
i. Mutual learning,
ii. Context-based learning (local knowledge),
iii. Citizen involvement/ownership,
iv. Gender equality, and
v. Openness and inclusiveness

Conexus Key Learning Factsheet Series
Integrating intersectionality into urban NbS
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) interventions are embedded in settings where socio-environmental inequalities can be reinforced over time unless intentionally tackled. This factsheet highlights key learnings from co-designing and implementing more just and inclusive NbS, spanning experiences in European and Latin American cities.
