Why attend

This Session empowers youth to shape climate-resilient and biodiversity-friendly futures in arid regions. Blending practical design with innovation, participants will work in small groups to redesign a typical city block using nature-based civil engineering solutions such as permeable pavements, bioswales, green roofs, and rain gardens.

Session Description

Experience hands-on learning by redesigning urban spaces with nature-based engineering solutions. Gain practical tools and business models to address real challenges such as water scarcity, circular economies, and biodiversity loss in arid regions. Learn from real-world case studies that connect ecology, engineering, and youth innovation.
