Assessing and modelling socio-economic impacts of nature restoration

Objectives: The grant aims to provide tools for assessing the socio-economic impacts, including benefits and costs, of nature restoration measures to ensure ecosystem services, aid climate change adaptation and mitigation. It seeks to enhance knowledge of these impacts for scientists and stakeholders in the public and private sectors, provide policy-makers with predictive tools, integrate restoration impacts into business plans, and make socio-economic impacts traceable to the interventions. It aligns with the EU biodiversity strategy 2030, which aims for significant restoration of ecosystems and habitats by 2030, and involves a comprehensive multidisciplinary research approach to achieve these goals.
