Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Changemaking to Shape, Protect and Maintain the Resilience of Tomorrow’s Forests

Descrizione del progetto

Adattamento basato sugli ecosistemi per migliorare la resilienza delle foreste

Le foreste possono essere distrutte da eventi climatici come tempeste o siccità, o attaccate da parassiti e agenti patogeni, lasciando un paesaggio devastato e abbandonando le popolazioni locali alla disperazione. Il progetto eco2adapt, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà un quadro di adattamento basato sugli ecosistemi e sulle soluzioni naturali, lavorando in laboratori viventi situati in punti caldi a livello climatico in Europa e in Cina. eco2adapt si avvarrà di approccio avanzato al teatro decisionale per studiare come integrare i disturbi e la vulnerabilità nella gestione forestale sviluppando scenari di cambiamento. Il progetto creerà inoltre meccanismi tecnici, economici e di governance innovativi a livello regionale, applicherà la tecnologia semantica allo scopo di stabilire una base di conoscenza per ospitare i dati FAIR, svilupperà un’applicazione per smartphone (OneForest ToolBox) per consentire agli utenti di aggiungere dati sulle foreste resilienti al clima e fornirà strumenti all’avanguardia per monitorare la vulnerabilità e la resilienza.

Obiettivo

In eco2adapt we will develop the Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) framework, derived from Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), that harnesses biodiversity and ecosystem services to reduce vulnerability and build social-ecological resilience to climate change. We will work in Living Labs in Europe and China, located in climate hotspots, and adopt a cutting-edge Decision Theatre approach to investigate how forest managers integrate disturbance and vulnerability into decision-making. Scenarios of how disturbance affects forest dynamics and ecosystem services at a landscape scale will be derived through modelling, and in Living Labs, stakeholders will learn how their choices affect ecosystem services in neighbouring forests. We will combine interdisciplinary knowledge from scientists and stakeholders in Europe and China to understand perception and provide incentivization for adopting EbA solutions, through local capacity-building and national policy plans. Through the same Decision Theatre methodology, we will use a capacity-building approach to create and promote innovative technical, economic and governance mechanisms at a regional level. Semantic technology will be applied to create a knowledge base for hosting FAIR data and creating a SmartPhone Application (named the OneForest ToolBox) that allows users to access and add data concerning climate-resilient species, provenances, mixtures, management techniques and ecosystem services, whilst taking into account future uncertainties about climate and societal changes. We also provide a suite of cutting-edge tools to monitor vulnerability and resilience (including invasive species and above-and below- ground biodiversity), at all levels of society – from the citizen to the policy-maker. By including tailored communication to all levels of society, we will reach out to a broad audience that has the capacity to cause positive change.
