MERLIN Synthesis of the final Regional Scalability Plans

Resource description:

The 17 MERLIN Regional Scalability Plans outline how to scale freshwater restoration to 2050 through collaborative, landscape-level Nature-based Solutions. Aligned with EU Green Deal goals, they focus on biodiversity, climate mitigation, and social inclusion. The plans highlight that successful upscaling requires coordinated action across implementation, policy, and stakeholder engagement, supported by cross-sector collaboration, adaptive management, and strong monitoring systems.
