Synergies

ENABLS will strive to promote collaboration and build synergies with biodiversity and NBS-relevant projects and initiatives.
We aim to join forces, share results and actively contribute to the achievement of common goals.

NBS Academy aims to build the first Network and Academy for promoting and mainstreaming NBS in teacher education, by bringing together in-service and pre-service teachers, training providers, policymakers and NBS experts. NSB Academy will utilise for the first time in Europe the potential of NBS education as a tool in ITE (Initial Teacher Education) and CPD (Continuous Professional Development) area through its pedagogical framework on NBS teacher education which combines innovative pedagogies with European competence frameworks (GreenComp, DigCompEdu). Also, NBS Academy envisions to achieve strong cooperation between teachers and trainers from different EU countries through a comprehensive “Train the Trainer” (TTT) programme for guiding teacher trainers to design and deliver effective NBS teacher training programmes. As next step of the training programmes the project will leverage the Living Labs methodology in 6 pilot countries for co-creating joint training courses for ITE and CPD to pave the way for integrating NBS in teacher education across Europe.

Aspiring to nurture an NBS literate society and support a just transition to a sustainable future, NBS EduWORLD is creating an NBS community that facilitates synergies between NBS professionals and education providers and ensures free and easy access to NBS knowledge and resources for all. The project provides specific activities for those who are not yet familiar with the concept and benefits of NBS, and those already aware but in need of support to progress to the next stage.

REWET focuses on determining how the restoration and management of wetlands can be optimised to maximise their carbon uptake while in balance with type-specific natural processes and biodiversity. The methodologies will be tested in 7 Open Labs across Europe. REWET‘s primary outcomes will include a wetlands inventory with carbon sink potential, models predicting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and sequestration under various scenarios, policy recommendations, a business model, and a replication roadmap.
