Description du projet
Veiller à ce que les entreprises européennes valorisent la nature
Nos écosystèmes naturels limités sont précieux et doivent être valorisés dans le cadre de l’économie verte. Le programme européen de valorisation de la nature (EU-VNP) et le réseau européen des réseaux de valorisation de la nature (EU-VNN) s’efforcent de mieux faire comprendre la complexité de l’environnement naturel par des analyses de valorisation, et de définir la valeur de la nature en termes économiques. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif du projet EU-VNP-Net, financé par l’UE, consiste à établir, soutenir et dynamiser les priorités du réseau EU-VNN et du programme EU-VNP. Il permettra de créer des synergies et des collaborations entre les réseaux pertinents existants et émergents, d’accélérer l’intégration, l’opérationnalisation du capital naturel par les entreprises dans toute l’UE, ainsi que la comptabilité du capital naturel, les solutions basées sur la nature et les infrastructures vertes afin de modifier le processus décisionnel au profit d’une économie durable et verte.
Objectif
The overall objective of EU-VNP-Net is to establish, support and energise an EU Valuing Nature Network of Networks (EU-VNN) and to implement a prioritised EU Valuing Nature Programme (EU-VNP) that, together, build synergies and collaborations among relevant existing and emerging networks (global, EU, national, sector, thematic, research and innovation), accelerate mainstreaming and operationalization of natural capital (NC) by businesses across the EU – in particular through uptake of NC assessment, NC accounting (NCA), nature-based solutions (NBS) and green infrastructure (GI) – and thereby contribute to the green economy and sustainable development. The EU-VNP will: (1) bring together, taking stock of and showcase relevant work being undertaken in the EU; (2) shape business perception in the EU of the value of nature as a business opportunity and as a means of reducing business risk and fostering sustainable business; (3) facilitate corporate uptake in the EU of the Natural Capital Protocol, which enables businesses to integrate NC in to business decision-making frameworks and models; (4) stimulate uptake in the EU of NCA so that businesses and their stakeholders are better aware of the value of nature in relation to business, and strengthen coherence between private and public sector work on NCA; (5) stimulate uptake in the EU of NBS, GI and related ecosystem-based solutions that enable businesses to reduce impacts and dependencies on NC and deliver benefits for both nature and business; (6) ensure that approaches adopted are optimal and scientifically rigorous; (7) explore options for a longer-term EU-VNN and/or EU-VNP beyond end of project. EU-VNP-Net will deliver impact through: (1) mainstreaming NC assessment, NCA, NBS and GI in business decision-making frameworks and models; (2) business decision-makers acknowledging the micro-and macro-economic relevance and value of NC approaches; (3) attracting private and public funding for further adoption.
