Erwartete Ergebnisse

Proposals are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

• Living labs working on nature restoration [1] are better connected, they are better involved in policy developments, and they benefit from existing knowledge and experience, leading to scale up of solutions for nature restoration and to address bottlenecks to implementation in particular through strengthened ownership including by local communities, private actors and public authorities;

• the cooperation between research, practice and policy on nature restoration is increased, with attention to practitioners involved in nature restoration (farmers, foresters, fishers and/or other businesses depending on ecosystem services) and rural/local communities and authorities as well as traditional and local knowledge holders;

• public authorities, land owners and/or managers, water related stakeholders, food and bioeconomy actors and practitioners have access to shared, validated deployment and governance frameworks that support the scale up of nature restoration actions as well as estimates for demand for certified environmental outcomes supporting restoration objectives (certified carbon farming credits [2] and, once methodologies are available, nature credits).

Umfang

The EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 defines nature restoration objectives in line with target 2 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The EU Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR) provides that Member States shall put in place effective and area-based restoration measures.

Support to nature restoration living labs has been granted under Horizon Europe and more living labs are expected to be settled, making coordination and transfer of implementation frameworks increasingly important. including to capture recurring implementation bottlenecks. The Soil Mission has gathered experience on living labs for soil restoration notably through the project SOILL [3] .

The Commission announced in the Bioeconomy Strategy the creation of a Buyers’ Club for carbon farming; its aim is to bring together potential buyers of carbon farming credits certified under the Carbon Removal and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation, for instance by facilitating alliances between land managers and potential financiers. The Commission has adopted a roadmap towards nature credits [4] .

Proposals should:

• organise a European network of living labs and lighthouses dedicated to nature restoration to ensure a cohesive development and the effective uptake of validated deployment frameworks. It should notably facilitate the development of common methodologies, standards, impact frameworks and capacity-building activities for living labs across Europe, ensuring strong involvement of national and regional living lab networks and fostering cross-border collaboration. It should ensure adequate coverage of EU Member States and Associated Countries so that as many as possible countries can benefit from the experience gained;

• ensure that living labs are adequately informed on the relevant legislation notably the NRR and about experience and knowledge on nature restoration including from the LIFE programme [5] and Biodiversa+ Knowledge Hubs [6] ;

• inform about nature restoration financing (existing or future) opportunities, including the Nature credits roadmap and the CRCF certification framework, and their implementation; promote where relevant existing CRCF and nature credits methods for agriculture, including organic agriculture, agroforestry, peatland restoration and rewetting, and/or afforestation with a view of testing them in the living labs;

• consolidate scientific results from the living labs and lighthouses in policy and implementation-focused outputs, fostering multi-level governance and supporting competent authorities in translating restoration challenges into operational priorities; encourage the development of shared spatial frameworks and optimisation tools that enable transferability of restoration solutions across regions;

• based on living lab and lighthouses activities, advocate ecosystem restoration and promote knowledge sharing and cultural exchanges on biodiversity as shared legacy with a view to strengthen legitimacy, to foster intergenerational…
