Descripción del proyecto
Equidad en los beneficios de la naturaleza en medio del cambio climático
Las crecientes presiones sobre los recursos de la tierra exigen soluciones innovadoras de gestión del paisaje que puedan proporcionar múltiples beneficios a diversos grupos de interesados. Sin embargo, persisten las desigualdades en estos beneficios, y el cambio climático exacerba las disparidades, afectando más duramente a las poblaciones vulnerables. El equipo del proyecto EquitES, que cuenta con el apoyo de las acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, pretende determinar los factores sociales que provocan las desigualdades en las contribuciones de la naturaleza a las personas (CNP), cuantificar el impacto del cambio climático en la distribución de las CNP y proponer soluciones de gestión del territorio para mejorar la multifuncionalidad a la vez que se reducen las desigualdades. Al abordar estas cuestiones críticas, el equipo de EquitES ofrece a los responsables políticos y a los gestores del territorio los conocimientos necesarios para un desarrollo equitativo y sostenible, a la vez que brinda a los profesionales la oportunidad de ampliar sus conocimientos en el dinámico campo de la socioecología.
Objetivo
Increasing pressures on land resources necessitate landscape management solutions that simultaneously deliver multiple benefits to diverse stakeholder groups with competing interests. Yet, there are enduring inequities in the benefits derived from nature by social groups. These inequities are expected to be amplified by climate change, which typically affects vulnerable people the most. However, a quantification of the effects of climate change on the overall contribution of nature to peoples quality of life (referred to as multifunctionality, defined here as overall supply of Natures Contributions to People (NCP) weighted by their relative prioritisation by people), and its distribution across social groups, is missing. This project aims to fill these gaps by 1) identifying the main socio-demographic factors underlying disparities in supply, demand and access to NCP; and their impacts on quality of life; 2) quantifying the impact of climate change on the distribution of multifunctionality across social groups; and 3) identifying land management solutions to increase multifunctionality for most groups, and minimise inequities, under future climate change. This project will thus provide new insights into factors driving peoples benefits from nature, and provide a synthetic assessment of climate change impacts on social inequities via their effects on nature and NCP. As fighting inequities and environmental change become increasingly pressing and intertwined issues in policy, this research will provide land managers and policy makers with a basis for informed decision-making for guiding equitable and sustainable development. The project will additionally provide me with a unique opportunity to expand my collaboration network as well as my conceptual, technical and project management skills, paving the way towards my professional independence and leadership in the field of social-ecology.
