Deliverables

Documents, reports (3)

Scientific paper on the review of nexus interlinkages

The scientific paper on the review of nexus interlinkages will include a Quick Scoping Review of past and present interlinkages (IL) among climate change, water, food, energy, transport and health through their relationship with biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people. The paper will pull together knowledge from scientific and grey literature, IPBES assessments and relevant projects/reviews, including indigenous and local knowledg. Systematic mapping will be used to highlight links to the SDGs and the strength of evidence for each IL.

First version of the project's CDE strategy and timeline

Project’s communication, dissemination and exploitation (CDE) strategy will reinforce the work done in each WP so that the outcomes and impacts of the project will be communicated, disseminated, and exploited to end-users in an effective way.

Policy brief 1

At least a 2-3 page “policy brief” deliverable published at 1st reporting period (M18)

Network of scientists established and working 

A functioning network of scientists will be established by identification and engagement of a diverse and transdisciplinary community of knowledge-holders including scientists and non-academic experts (policy arenas, bodies and policymakers, NGOs finance and business sector), i.e., actors that have a stake in transformative change or are end-users of BIONEXT outputs. An actor and end-user typology will be created as well.

A collection of cases from available knowledge repositories

A collection of cases from available knowledge repositories will be gathered from relevant, available knowledge repositories including (but not limited to) OPPLA, BISE, MAES Explorer, Naturvation, LIFE-EU, Climate-ADAPT and PANORAMA.

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (1)

A scheme on conceptual framework on transformative change in the biodiversity nexus

The scheme on conceptual framework on transformative change in the biodiversity nexus will be made by employing an iterative approach to synthesise a conceptual understanding of transformative change in the biodiversity nexus building on insights from WP1 and WP3 to ensure grounding in empirical contexts and to map and operationalise fragmented insights on transformative change on the biodiversity nexus.
