Description
Enhancing Resilience in Mediterranean Forests through Nature-based Solutions (NbS)
Purpose: This workshop aims to strengthen the interface between ecosystem research and policy development by bringing together researchers, policymakers, forest managers, and regional stakeholders working on Mediterranean forest resilience. Discussions will focus on identifying 2–3 concrete policy-relevant priorities related to Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and climate adaptation that AnaEE-ERIC could support through coordinated research, infrastructure services, or stakeholder collaboration in the coming years.
Format: The workshop will be organised as an interactive multi-stakeholder exchange involving participants from across the Mediterranean region, including representatives from research institutions, national and regional forest authorities, environmental agencies, NGOs, local communities, and forest managers. Through moderated discussions and knowledge exchange, participants will identify shared regional challenges, research gaps, and opportunities to translate scientific knowledge into practical and policy-oriented actions for Mediterranean forest resilience.
Goal:
- Identify 2-3 concrete policy topics
- Produce one concise policy brief (2-3 pages)
- Prepare and distribute a targeted questionnaire to participants in advance to facilitate focused discussion and gather relevant input
