What this call funds
This call funds a coordination and support project to build a European network connecting living labs that test nature restoration solutions. It aims to link these labs better with policy, share knowledge, and help scale up successful restoration approaches, including supporting new financing tools like carbon farming credits and nature credits. The outcome should be stronger ties between research, practitioners, local communities and public authorities working on ecosystem restoration.
