Taking nature-based solutions up the policy ladder - from research to policy action
Source
The brief provides an overview of the nature-based solutions (NBS) knowledge gaps resulting from an analysis by NetworkNature of a large number of research publications, an online consultation and strategic dialogues with key stakeholders. This can support policymakers in better understanding the research needs which can strengthen the implementation of NBS.
The analysis of the barriers to NBS policy implementation and the research carried out to identify the main NBS knowledge gaps shed light on important opportunities to move the NBS agenda forward.
- Leveraging resources to develop tools to estimate impacts, benefits and cost-effectiveness of NBS in quantitative terms across ecosystems
- Dedicating research funding to increasing knowledge and monitoring systems of mitigation potential of NBS across ecosystem types
- Supporting targeted training and sharing of NBS best practices with key stakeholders
- Enabling financing resources for NBS interventions
- Establishing and testing standardisation for NBS
- Integrating concrete NBS provisions in policies at EU, national and local level
