Guidelines for co-creation and co-governance of nature-based solutions

Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (European Commission)

This report analyses co-creation and co-governance approaches for Nature Based Solutions (NbS). Each project represents different ways in co-designing, co-developing, co-implementing and co-monitoring NbS that are being deployed in diverse European contexts. The analysis presents best practices regarding the co-creation of NbS at its different stages, phases and scales. It provides guidelines for researchers, practitioners and other experts that are researching, implementing and/or evaluating territorial processes that prioritise and advocate for inclusive and nature-based approaches.
