Descripción del proyecto
Soluciones basadas en la naturaleza que transforman el cambio climático
Las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza (SbN) tiene un potencial transformador para abordar el cambio climático, la pérdida de biodiversidad y la justicia social. Sin embargo, el valor de las SbN es cada vez más discutido, por lo que es importante conocer mejor las sinergias y los compromisos de su aplicación a escala. En el proyecto NATURESCAPES, financiado con fondos europeos, se pretende determinar cómo las SbN pueden beneficiar a diversas comunidades que afrontan retos socioeconómicos, desigualdades y riesgos. Su equipo estudiará treinta paisajes naturales de Europa, América Latina, el Caribe y Estados Unidos, a través de doce estudios de casos, para proporcionar nuevos conocimientos y desarrollar herramientas. En siete de estos casos,se codiseñarán intervenciones con colaboradores locales a fin de probar teorías y prácticas transformadoras del cambio.
Objetivo
NATURESCAPES addresses the pressing challenge of realising the transformative potential of nature-based solutions (NBS) for climate change, biodiversity loss and social justice. Despite progress in the field, our knowledge of the synergies and trade-offs from implementing NBS at scale across diverse and interconnected landscapes is limited. At the same time, there remain challenges in designing the governance arrangements, finance and forms of citizen engagement are needed while the value NBS for diverse social actors is increasingly contested - especially where they seem to bring benefits to some and new forms of inequity and exclusion to others. Advancing the transformative potential of NBS requires that we address these underlying challenges together – ensuring they are both effective and just. NATURESCAPES will advance our understanding of how NBS across interconnected urban, rural and coastal landscapes generate benefits for diverse communities, particularly in areas of socio-economic disadvantage, inequity and risk. We will analyse the synergies/trade-offs emerging for climate, biodiversity and communities in 30 ‘naturescapes’ across Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and the USA, including 12 in-depth case-studies focusing on the dynamics of implementation, creating new insights and tools. In 7 of these cases we will co-design interventions with local collaborators that test transformative theories and practices of change and identify how these can be replicated. Led by Utrecht University, the NATURESCAPES consortium brings together expertise across the sciences, social sciences and humanities from five European Universities, The Nature Conservancy, WWF and Grupo Laera (a leading consultancy in NBS and ecosystem services in LAC), and an international collaboratory of stakeholders. Together, we will adopt a transdisciplinary approach to take forward the realisation of NBS that are transformative for climate change, biodiversity and communities.
