NATALIE
Accelerating and mainstreaming transformative NATure-bAsed solutions to enhance resiLIEence to climate change
NATALIE addresses existing and threatening climate risks and proposes the application of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to participate in solving them.
The Problem
Adaptation to climate change is a key issue for the survival of ecosystems. According to the “EU Adaptation Strategy”, progress on developing innovative local solutions is slow and therefore, there is an urgent need to empower local communities and regionalities to adopt and share adaptation solutions across Europe.
Aims (what)
NATALIE will strengthen collaboration and knowledge sharing in the acceleration of transformative solutions and social empowerment towards the co-design and established consensus of climate resilient development pathways.
Approach (how)
NATALIE will develop a transformative NBS Booster pack of 25 innovative and active solutions. This Booster Innovation Package includes financing and public engagement transformative solutions, technical innovation, modelling and IT solutions, governance, and policy recommendations at European and regional level.
Our role and how the project relates to our work
Earthwatch brings our expertise in both citizen science and NBS to the NATALIE project. It sits within the Cities program, with a clear link to Urban Nature.
