NBS4EU
What is NBS4EU?
NBS4EU is a cluster composed of the 7 sister projects funded under the same the Horizon Europe topic “HORIZON-MISS-2022-CLIMA-01-06: Testing and Demonstrating Transformative Solutions on Climate Resilience, Mainstreaming Nature-Based Solutions in the Systemic Transformation.”
This effort is part of the broader European Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. Nearly €140 million is allocated to seven projects, making it one of the largest investments under Horizon Europe, supporting European regions become climate resilient and prepared for extreme events.
The 7 funded projects include:
• ARCADIA: Transformative Climate Resilience by Nature-Based Solutions in the Continental Bio-Geographical Region
• CARDIMED: Climate Adaptation and Resilience Demonstrated in the Mediterranean Region
• DesirMED: Demonstration and Mainstreaming of Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Resilient Transformation in the Mediterranean
• LAND4CLIMATE: Utilization of Private Land for Mainstreaming Nature-Based Solutions in the Systemic Transformation Towards a Climate-Resilient Europe
• MountResilience: Accelerating Transformative Climate Adaptation for Higher Resilience in European Mountain Regions
• NATALIE: Accelerating and Mainstreaming Transformative Nature-Based Solutions to Enhance Resilience to Climate Change for Diverse Bio-Geographical European Regions
• NBRACER: Nature-Based Solutions for Atlantic Regional Climate Resilience Recognizing the diverse climate risks across different regions, each project focuses on specific biogeographical areas in Europe, developing localised solutions that address unique regional challenges.
Why is it relevant to NATALIE?
Enhancing Collaboration and Synergy The 7 sister projects engage around 70 regions and municipalities, advancing the Mission Climate’s goal of guiding 150 regions towards climate resilience by 2030. To amplify their impact, these projects initiate exchange activities, explore synergies, and identify opportunities for joint actions.
Forming a coalition, these projects enhance their collective influence, achieving outcomes unattainable independently. This collaborative cluster fosters robust communication for sharing best practices, innovative ideas, and successful strategies. The Importance of Working Together Collaboration within the NBS4EU cluster highlights the importance of teamwork. Each project contributes unique strengths, enriching the collective effort. Sharing knowledge and resources helps tackle common challenges, advancing the EU’s sustainable and climate-resilient goals.
