 nd Accomplishing Climate Governance (CUP 2016). She has an extensive rec
 ord of international collaboration and has served as a co-investigator o
 n multiple interdisciplinary projects working across the social and natu
 ral sciences. Harriet currently leads the Horizon Europe NATURESCAPES pr
 oject (2023 – 2027) examining how nature-based solutions can contribute 
 to biodiversity\, climate change and social justice across urban regions
  globally.\n\nGoverning with Nature: towards climate and social justice?
 \n\nThe upsurge of interest in and deployment of nature-based solutions 
 has come with the promise that they hold transformative potential as int
 erventions which are capable of addressing the challenges of the loss of
  nature\, climate change and social justice. Such optimism is based both
  on a sense of the inherent ‘good’ of nature and the purposeful intent t
 o design interventions that harness the inherent properties of nature to
 wards multiple ends. While nature-based solutions are now to be found ac
 ross diverse geographies\, their growing popularity within the urban rea
 lm is particularly notable. Whilst historically cities have been viewed 
 as the antithesis of nature and their governance reliant on the dominati
 on and control of environmental systems\, the introduction of nature-bas
 ed solutions into the urban realm heralds a different way of thinking an
 d doing the urban by governing with nature. This talk explores how and w
 hy cities have started to bring nature back into the city and what this 
 in turn might tell us about the possibilities of governing with nature t
 owards climate and social justice.
