Risultati finali

Documents, reports (4)

Knowledge needs and synthesis for decision-making

Report on collaborative activities identified in response to knowledge needs, and formal synthesis of relevant knowledge for decision-making on at least one priority knowledge need

Report on the development of a blueprint for socially and economically viable nature-based solutions

This task will build on knowledge generated from WP3-5, including capacity-building activities and student research (WP3), the knowledge needs and knowledge synthesis (WP4) and the workshop and meetings with stakeholders (WP4 and WP5), to develop systemic approaches and methodologies that regenerate landscapes and leading to enhanced ecosystem services delivery and human well-being and quality of life, social cohesion and integration.
