Descripción del proyecto
Evaluar el rendimiento de las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza
Las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza (SbN) pueden ayudar a gestionar de modo sostenible los procesos y las características naturales a fin de abordar desafíos socioambientales, como los riesgos climáticos, la contaminación y la biodiversidad. En el proyecto NATURANCE, financiado con fondos europeos, se examinará la viabilidad operativa, financiera y técnica, así como el rendimiento, de soluciones basadas en una combinación de financiación del riesgo de catástrofes y de inversiones en materia de SbN. El equipo del proyecto conectará importantes redes de conocimiento, además de iniciar y organizar laboratorios de innovación política y financiera. Asimismo, analizará parámetros, escenarios, métodos, modelos y condiciones de gobernanza y política utilizados para evaluar el rendimiento de las SbN relativo a la reducción de los riesgos. Por último, fomentará la adopción de principios establecidos en común, parámetros de rendimiento y métodos recomendados para el análisis y el diseño en consonancia con el marco de financiación sostenible de la Unión Europea.
Objetivo
Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) can provide means to regulate GHG in the atmosphere, mitigate climate hazard risks - through mass stabilisation, water flow regulation, wind dissipation, and temperature regulation - remove particle pollution and im-prove air quality, protect soil and biodiversity, and enhance climate resilience. The Naturance project will examine technical, financial and operational feasibility and performance of solutions that are built upon and combine disaster risk financing & investments with nature-based solutions. To this end we will stimulate dialogues, knowledge sharing and mutual learning across different areas of policy and practice. Our ambition is not only to produce a comprehensive and collaborative assessment of nature-based insurance and investment solutions from societal and business perspective: our ultimate goal is to encourage adoption of jointly elaborated principles, performance metrics and recommended approaches to analysis and design, in accordance with EU framework for sustainable finance.
The project will
Establish a ‘Network of existing networks’ by connecting existing major knowledge networks and fostering cross-domain knowledge sharing and collaborative marketplace for innovative nature-based insurance & in-vestment solutions.
Initiate and organise innovation finance and policy labs seeking to assess existing and explore new areas for insurance & investment solutions and revenue models supporting NbS.
Analyse policy and governance conditions that are conducive to or hamper adoption of sustainable and equitable innovative green insurance and investment solutions for NbS and identify examples of inspirational practice and policy reforms unlocking their business potential and scaling up their deployment.
Analyse models, methods, scenarios and metrics used for assessing risk-reduction performance of NbS, as well as their wider societal benefits, and contribute to a better integration of ecosystem and economic risk modelling.
Build awareness and capabilities for green financial innovations, so to creating conditions for inclusive and transformative change in regions embarked in the Mission on climate adaptation & societal transformation.
