About the Workshop Series

There is often a gap between conceptualizing ideas for natural and nature-based solutions (NNBS) and developing practical and solution-oriented plans using them. To close this gap, The Nature Conservancy, Clemson’s Resilient Urban Design Program, and the City of Charleston are conducting a series of practical and outcome-based workshops that will bring together a variety of local partners to discuss and develop NNBS.

Goal: Synthesize existing knowledge and information on NNBS, align it with opportunities and barriers within the state of South Carolina, and create practical and equitable steps for implementation.

Outcomes:

• Natural and nature-based solutions become recognized throughout the state as practical and effective tools to address resilience issues.

• Impediments and barriers to natural and nature-based solutions are recognized and pragmatic pathways to overcome these barriers are identified and initiated.

• State and local jurisdictions employ more natural and nature-based solutions, alone or in tandem with gray infrastructure.
