Expected Outcome:
In support of the European Green Deal, the Adaptation Strategy, the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the Mission on Adaptation to climate change and the Global Biodiversity Framework, successful proposals will contribute to addressing the climate and biodiversity crises in a more systemic way.
Projects results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
- improved capability of the research community in assessing and modelling, in a systemic way, the impacts of the climate and biodiversity crises on the key community systems considered in the Mission implementation plan[1], and their interdependencies.
- public administration from national to local level are using evidence-based information provided by the project to prioritise actions that address cascading, compound risks from both crises, increasing climate resilience while, at the same time preserving and restoring biodiversity.
- Public regional and local authorities are better able to prioritise investments and select effective options that allows to reduce/manage the risk and effects from both crises on the key community systems considered in the Mission implementation plan[2];
- improved regional and risk assessments that capture more effectively interdependencies between both crises and cascading, compound risks and tipping points.
Climate change and biodiversity loss are two interdependent crises that are complex, cascading, and compounding. Tackling
