- Abstract:
- The project will address lack of knowledge on NbS contextualisation by exploring feasibility and effectiveness of co-developed NbS across physical, land use, and societal contexts at three geographically and culturally distinct SSA sites. The need for evidence on NbS scalability will be addressed by modelling opportunities and limits to scaling up, and building mechanisms for scaling out into the group-based intervention programme. We will also address the need for developing community-driven approaches by working with stakeholder communities to elicit local knowledge on NbS and developing a dedicated social psychological community-based programme to support community resilience and wellbeing. The project will directly speak to equity issues by incorporating diverse local subjectivities into the process of NbS co-selection and implementation, and will work towards temporal sustainability by modelling longevity of NbS effects, facilitating stakeholder commitment to NbS implementation, and building long-term partnerships between communities, local government units, and civil society.
