Background

While the human toll of the pandemic, a disaster for so many people, keeps increasing many already look at how COVID impacts digital transformation. In 2015, EC published the Final Report of the Horizon 2020 Expert Group on “Nature- Based Solution and Re-Naturing Cities”, where there were identified four main goals for nature-based solutions: enhancing sustainable urbanization, restoring degraded ecosystems, developing climate change adaptation and mitigation, improving risk management and resilience. Based on these 4 goals, 7 nature-based solutions for R&I actions are recommended to be taken, 2 with impact on project development: Urban regeneration through nature-based solutions − Nature-based solutions for improving well-being in urban areas. The AgroBUS project developed a training material with the purpose of boosting entrepreneurial spirit in the field of UA amongst vulnerable adults through new knowledge and concepts. The project is a transversal project focus on developing new digital skills and competences in entrepreneurship to a category of disadvantage adults and through its implementation we would like to show that working in the UA is a way of social inclusion, sustainable life, community spirit and solidarity.
