Abstract
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are increasingly acknowledged as vital strategies against climate change. However, citizens and ecosystems benefit differently from NbS. To account for NbS trade-offs, theory and practice have embraced Inclusive Climate Actions (ICAs) that simultaneously tackle climate change and urban inequalities. Currently there is a notable gap in the assessment of environmental, economic, and social implications of ICAs for NbS.
This research develops an evaluation and monitoring (E&M) framework to identify Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for evaluating the effectiveness of ICAs for NbS. The methodology is structured in three phases: identification, refinement, and prioritization. This approach integrates quantitative and qualitative techniques and involves stakeholders in the process.
A set of 13 KPIs is proposed. These results can be further enhanced by engaging local stakeholders to select supporting indicators tailored to address contextual challenges.
The E&M framework assesses the effectiveness of completed or ongoing projects, or evaluates future scenarios. This step serves for empirical assessment in five European cities, and for the design and planning of future scenarios in five Urban Living Labs. Results will help cities to implement ICAs that incorporate fairness and distribute NbS impacts equitably.
This study is part of the DUT project GREEN-INC, growing effective and equitable nature-based solutions through inclusive climate actions.
