| Popis: | Nature based solutions (NbS) have the potential to build climate resilience and tackle key societalchallenges while also providing multiple co-benefits to biodiversity and human well-being. The demandfor nature-based innovation is strongly felt in Malta – a small island state, with the highest populationdensity in the European Union. Learning and training play a pivotal role in the endeavour to createsustainable societies. Current environmental, social and economic challenges to meet the balance ofthe four dimensions of sustainable development (social, environmental, economic and governance)require new ways of thinking and acting. The ReNature project helps to facilitate internationalknowledge exchange for the mainstreaming of NbS, via holistic and interdisciplinary stakeholder education. This will be demonstrated through increasing outstanding research initiatives in NbS forinnovation, sustainable economic growth and human well-being in Malta. The ReNature consortium isworking towards increasing the range of appropriate learning opportunities and sharing experiencesabout NbS implementation around the Mediterranean basin. The outcomes of this project will fostercapacity building and enhance research excellence in the field of NbS through a number ofstrategically designed training activities and project outputs in topics related to the key areas of thisconcept. This article is aimed at presenting the ReNature capacity-building framework and learningmodel. We believe that these tools are setting a direction for learning that is based on values, principles and practices which are indispensable to respond effectively to current and futurechallenges. |
