Deploying Nature-Based Solutions

Relying on ecosystems to address societal challenges

Nature-based solutions are effective and sustainable responses to many societal challenges, including climate change, carbon storage, water resources, and more. ACTeon identifies the obstacles and drivers for implementation in different regions and sectoral policies (tourism, agriculture, etc.) to facilitate and accelerate their deployment.

CONTEXT

As part of the Life ARTISAN project, ACTeon contributed to several strategic studies on Nature-based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation (SafN). The team analysed the barriers and drivers for their deployment, studied their cross-integration into public policies, and explored their benefits for the adaptation of the tourism sector. This work, carried out for the OFB and ADEME, made it possible to mobilise national reference frameworks (PNACC-2, SNB, SRADDET, etc.), involve more than 100 stakeholders, and produce operational resources that were disseminated nationwide.

OBJECTIVES

The project aims to promote the integration and implementation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for climate change adaptation in France. It has eight main objectives:

  • Identify technical, regulatory, economic and socio-cultural barriers to the implementation of NBS, based on field data, surveys and literature reviews.
  • Propose operational levers and tools to overcome these obstacles, in line with the needs expressed by public and private stakeholders.
  • Promote SafN as a coherent response to the intersecting climate and biodiversity challenges in public policies (PNACC, SRADDET, SCoT, etc.).
  • Strengthen the capacities of economic, technical and institutional actors to design, finance and manage SafNs.
  • Support the adaptation of targeted economic sectors (particularly tourism) by mobilising SafNs.
  • Demonstrate the co-benefits of SafNs through concrete and reproducible feedback.
  • Equip territorial decision-makers with tools through systemic analyses and participatory approaches.
  • Promote the results at national and European level through educational resources, publications and events.
