Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Despite improved understanding of the links between ecosystem health, provision of ecosystem services and human well-being, further conceptual and empirical work is needed to make the ideas of ecosystem services (ESS) and natural capital (NC) operational. OpenNESS will therefore develop innovative and practical ways of applying them in land, water and urban management: it will identify how, where and when the concepts can most effectively be applied to solve problems. To do this, it will work with public and private decision makers and stakeholders to better understand the range of policy and management problems faced in different case study contexts (ranging across locales, sectors, scales and time). OpenNESS will consolidate, refine and develop a range of spatially-explicit methods to identify, quantify and value ecosystem services, and will develop hybrid assessment methods. It will also explore the effectiveness of financial and governance mechanisms, such as payments for ecosystem services, habitat banking, biodiversity offsetting and land and ecosystem accounting. These types of interventions have potential for sustaining ESS and NC, and for the design of new economic and social investment opportunities. Finally, OpenNESS will assess how current regulatory frameworks and other institutional factors at EU and national levels enable or constrain consideration of ESS and NC, and identify the implications for issues related to well-being, governance and competitiveness. OpenNESS will analyse the knowledge that is needed to define ESS and NC in the legal, administrative and political contexts that are relevant to the EU. The work will deliver a menu of multi-scale solutions to be used in real life situations by stakeholders, practitioners, and decision makers in public and business organizations, by providing new frameworks, data-sets, methods and tools that are fit-for-purpose and sensitive to the plurality of decision-making contexts.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Despite improved understanding of the links between ecosystem health, provision of ecosystem services and human well-being, the concepts of ecosystem services and natural capital are still hard to apply operationally to policy and management problems.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Humans benefit from ecosystems in many ways, such as the provision of clean water, the decomposition of waste, and the pollination of crops by bees and other insects. These direct contributions of ecosystems to human well-being are known as ecosystem services (ES). Natural capital (NC) refers to those elements of nature that directly or indirectly produce value for people, including soil, air, water and all living things.
The http://www.openness-project.eu (OPENNESS) project translates both concepts into operational frameworks that provide tested, practical and tailored solutions for integration into land, water and urban management and decision-making. It examines how the concepts link to, and support, EU sectoral and cross-sectoral policy initiatives and scrutinizes its potential and limitations.
Central to OPENNESS is a multi-scale case study approach, designed to ground ideas and theories on real-world observations and analysis. To do this, we work with public and private decision-makers and stakeholders to better understand the range of problems faced in 26 different case study contexts.
The OPENNESS team identified 20 key EU policies that will benefit from the project's findings, such as the Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, the Water Framework Directive and the Renewable Energy Directive. In addition, OPENNESS will help mainstreaming the concepts of ES and NC into land-use practices and forest management processes.
The multi-scale solutions that will come out of OPENNESS will deliver stakeholder-targeted options for ES assessments in real-life planning and decision-making situations. A menu of such solutions will be central to Oppla, the common platform that is developed together with the OPERAs project. Oppla will empower European communities to improve natural resource management for human well-being.
