Objectives

Eight specific objectives for scalable Nature-Based Solutions

NBS360 follows a complete pathway from demonstration and monitoring to digital decision support, governance, scaling, and policy impact.

SO-1

Demonstrate site-tailored NbS

Develop integrated and hybrid Nature-Based Solutions for drought, flood, erosion, pollution, and water-related risks.

SO-2

Deploy operational Digital Twins

Use sensor data, Earth Observation layers, hydrological models, and Physics-Informed Machine Learning.

SO-3

Deliver an Explainable AI-powered IDSS

Provide dashboards and “what-if” scenario tools for planners, authorities, and stakeholders.

SO-4

Establish a harmonised NbS typology

Create a Mediterranean typology and standardised performance indicators for comparison and replication.

SO-5

Strengthen co-design and governance

Use Decision Theater sessions and a Community of Practice to involve communities, researchers, authorities and users.

SO-6

Pilot governance and business models

Test long-term models such as Payments for Ecosystem Services and Nexus Credits.

SO-7

Deliver a 3S scaling framework

Support Scaling Out, Scaling Up, and Scaling Deep across Mediterranean contexts.

SO-8

Generate policy recommendations

Translate demonstration lessons into policy briefs, governance pathways, and practical guidance.
