The GREEN TALENT project builds capacity and partnerships to support systemic responses to the climate and biodiversity crises, with a focus on strengthening research and innovation skills, knowledge exchange, and cross-sector collaboration. Funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101217375, the project brings together partners working across climate, biodiversity, policy, and practice to advance more integrated approaches to sustainability and resilience.

NYU Urban Systems Lab contributes to the project through Work Package 3, which focuses on training and capacity building. The Lab’s role is to share applied expertise in urban climate resilience, nature-based solutions, and transdisciplinary research, helping connect the project’s broader climate-biodiversity goals to practical urban challenges and decision-making contexts.
