Description du projet
Des solutions innovantes fondées sur la nature sur des terrains privés
Les solutions fondées sur la nature (SfN) ont le potentiel d’atténuer les effets des catastrophes et du changement climatique, mais elles exigent généralement plus de terrain que les infrastructures traditionnelles. Le projet LAND4CLIMATE, financé par l’UE, entend renforcer la résilience des paysages et des zones urbaines. Il fera, pour ce faire, appel à des systèmes de gouvernance et à des programmes commerciaux innovants afin d’accéder à des terrains privées pour déployer des SfN. Cette approche élimine le besoin d’acquérir des terres et permet au projet d’atteindre ses objectifs de résilience climatique. Le projet collaborera avec les propriétaires terriens pour concevoir et tester les SfN sur des propriétés privées en utilisant des politiques foncières inventives, favorisant ainsi un avenir résilient au climat dans les régions confrontées à de nombreuses catastrophes, telles que les inondations, les sécheresses et la chaleur urbaine. LAND4CLIMATE mènera des essais de SfN en Allemagne, en Italie, en Autriche, en Roumanie, en Slovaquie et en Tchécoslovaquie.
Objectif
LAND4CLIMATE aims to increase the resilience of landscapes and urban settlements in the continental biogeographical area and beyond by nudging the implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS), which are at large-scale still in its infancy. However, there are three reasons for the tardy uptake of NBS in practice: (1) NBS need more land than grey infrastructure; (2) approaches to NBS hitherto often focus on public land; (3) private land, however, bears huge potential for climate resilience, both as a supplier (in terms of ecosystem service provision) and a recipient of benefits of NBS (in terms of climate risk reduction). LAND4CLIMATE addresses these implementation gaps.
Climate resilience needs land! LAND4CLIMATE aims to get access to private land for the implementation of NBS, not by buying land, but through the development of innovative governance schemes and business models, such as land readjustments schemes, strategic land leases and easements. The main objective of LAND4CLIMATE is to co-design and validate NBS on private land through implementation and upscaling with innovative strategies of land policy for a transformative climate-resilient future in areas with multiple risks, especially coupled extreme hydro-meteorological events such as floods, droughts and urban heat.
LAND4CLIMATE will operationalize this objective in six frontrunner cases in Austria, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Romania and Slovakia by:
• Identifying cause and effect relations of climate risks and NBS to allocate NBS effectively and efficiently
• Developing governance and business models to implement legitimate and just strategies of land policy for NBS on private land
• Enabling successful replication and upscaling
By involving seven replicant regions in the aforementioned countries, LAND4CLIMATE becomes able to replicate, foster and inspire new synergies between NBS beneficiaries and landowners on a wider scale and contribute to the EU’s mission for adaptation to climate change.
