Descrizione del progetto
Valutare le prestazioni delle soluzioni basate sulla natura
Le soluzioni basate sulla natura (NbS) possono aiutare a gestire in modo sostenibile le caratteristiche e i processi naturali per affrontare sfide socio-ambientali come i rischi climatici, l’inquinamento e la biodiversità. Il progetto NATURANCE, finanziato dall’UE, esaminerà la fattibilità tecnica, finanziaria e operativa, nonché le prestazioni, di soluzioni basate su una combinazione di finanziamento del rischio di catastrofi e investimenti NbS. Il progetto collegherà le principali reti di conoscenza e avvierà e organizzerà laboratori di finanza e politica dell’innovazione. Inoltre, analizzerà le condizioni politiche e di governance, i modelli, i metodi, gli scenari e le metriche utilizzate per valutare le prestazioni di riduzione del rischio delle NbS. Infine, promuoverà l’adozione di principi, indicatori di performance e approcci raccomandati definiti congiuntamente per l’analisi e la progettazione, in linea con il quadro di finanza sostenibile dell’Unione.
Obiettivo
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.
