As climate disruptions become more frequent and intense, the resilience of Europe's infrastructure is crucial as it supports economic flows, human well-being, and social stability throughout the continent. However, this challenge provides a historic opportunity to revolutionize infrastructure by integrating it with nature. It covers critical sectors (e.g., transport and energy) and engages an alliance of infrastructure owners, scientists fro industry and academia, and public authorities.

NATURE-DEMO Implements Four Actions

  • CREATE

    Will create an advanced digital decision support platform that will integrate climate projections, asset exposure, nature-based solutions catalogue portfolios, and advanced simulations to optimize the efficiency of selected nature-based solutions implementations to enhance resilience and deliver co-benefits.

  • VALIDATE

    Will validate its methodology with real-world demonstrations of optimized nature-based solutions across five sites in the Alpine Biogeographic region. Successful nature-based solutions will then be scaled as replicators in more than four other sites in the Alpine and other Biogeographic regions.

  • SCALE

    By pioneering a scalable, digitally-enabled, and validated framework for implementing nature-based solutions,  will help realize the EU’s vision for a climate-resilient and sustainable economy optimized for the realities and demands of the 21st century - a vision for posterity.

  • SUSTAIN

    Will sustain its solutions beyond its timeframe by focusing on exploitation pathways that include tailored guidelines that disseminate nature-based solutions knowledge across infrastructure professions, a Task-Force available to provide technical expertise, and a financial observatory for nature-based solutions funds.
