NBS4Drought

We aim to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of wetlands as a nature-based solution for drought resilience. Additionally, we will develop tools, policies and practices for wetland-focused water management strategies. 

To achieve our objectives, we have selected seven different wetland showcases located across 5 distinct bioclimatic zones in Europe, such as a wetland park in Barcelona, Spain, or small wetlands around Lake Constance, Germany. Water properties, carbon sequestration, biodiversity as well as economic and social dimensions will be evaluated at those sites.

These showcases will undergo a collaborative co-creation and co-development process. The local stakeholders and communities will be involved to facilitate the long-term maintenance of our sites. Citizen science initiatives and a multi-stakeholder approach are pivotal to the project, helping sites across Europe to better use wetlands for water management.
