Resources for nature-based solutions (NetworkNature+)

Nature based Solutions (NBS) pursue several goals and have at the same time ecological, economic, social and possibly cultural advantages. The aim of the NetworkNature project was to expand the NBS community, advance the implementation and expansion of nature-based solutions, and offer resources, projects, best practices and tools under one roof.

Steinbeis Europa Zentrum and the project partners have been continuing their efforts with the follow-up project to NetworkNature since the beginning of August 2023. The focus is on nature-based solutions that are in line with the EU's 2030 policy goals and EU missions. The project partners want to accelerate the implementation of nature-based solutions in science, business, policy and practice through up-scaling measures. Among other things, they will develop an interactive "map" of the NbS project landscape that provides an overview of topics, results and interrelationships. Steinbeis Europa Zentrum will take care of the exploitation of project results and further support KMUS and Nature-Based Enterprises and Horizon NbS project collaboration in the area of financing and business models.

The focus is on:

  • Improving the NBS evidence base through knowledge sharing, mapping the research and innovation landscape and identifying knowledge gaps.
  • Upscaling the use of NBS through market analysis, consultancy and capacity building, as well as creating new European NBS regional hubs and networking with practitioners, companies, investors and policy makers
  • Awareness raising involving existing stakeholders and outreach to new target groups as well as training for younger generations
