Descrizione del progetto
Un impulso sostenibile per le città dell’UE e dell’America latina
In tutto il mondo, le città si trovano ad affrontare molteplici sfide ambientali che, a loro volta, incidono sulla sicurezza dell’acqua e sulla salute umana. La ricostituzione sostenibile degli ecosistemi urbani attraverso soluzioni basate sulla natura può contribuire ad affrontare queste sfide, fornendo al tempo stesso più ampi benefici sociali, ambientali ed economici. Il progetto INTERLACE, finanziato dall’UE e diretto dall’Ecologic Institute, collegherà città europee e della Comunità degli Stati latinoamericani e caraibici (CELAC), dotandole dei mezzi per ripristinare e riabilitare efficacemente gli ecosistemi (peri)urbani per città vivibili, resilienti e inclusive. Il progetto migliorerà la conoscenza delle soluzioni riparative basate sulla natura, promuoverà una pianificazione urbanistica coerente dal punto di vista ecologico e getterà le basi per interazioni peer-to-peer durature tra le città UE e CELAC. Una rete di scambio tra le parti interessate promuoverà la cooperazione per un impatto trasformativo, mentre i metodi innovativi del progetto consentiranno la co-produzione di strumenti di governance per soluzioni riparative basate sulla natura.
Obiettivo
INTERLACE brings together a uniquely positioned consortium to empower and equip European and CELAC cities to effectively restore and rehabilitate (peri)urban ecosystems towards more liveable, resilient and inclusive cities. The project applies an integrative, city-driven approach to address urban challenges through the restoration, rehabilitation and (re)connection of natural and social processes between places. A three-tiered mechanism for city and wider stakeholder exchange and learning – the City Network Accelerator – will strengthen cooperation and peer-to-peer interactions on the local, regional (EU and CELAC) and global scales. Innovative forms of inclusive participation will optimise the collection of available knowledge and experiences and the co-production of governance instruments and tools for restorative NBS. Six committed EU and CELAC partner cities are central to this process, providing and sharing experiences with other cities globally and building technical and procedural capacities. The international city network partners UNGL, Climate Alliance and UCLG will facilitate a wide dissemination and application of project outputs through effective pathways to impact. The web-based Innovation Hub will support these efforts by disseminating INTERLACE’s City NBS Tool for urban ecosystem restoration and rehabilitation and promoting project result exploitation. Comprised of integrated assessment systems, a catalogue of policy and governance instruments, city impulse papers, business cases, guidance documents, and more, the tool will support decision-making processes for urban ecological restoration in EU and CELAC cities and beyond. INTERLACE will advance knowledge and awareness of restorative NBS, foster more ecologically coherent and integrated city planning processes, and lay the foundation for sustained multi-directional cooperation and exchange between EU and CELAC cities for wider transformative impact.
