Horizon Living Labs: Nature-Positive Governance
Funds two €7M research projects that use living labs to test inclusive governance for nature-positive change across ecosystems and communities.
Nature-positive policies often stall because knowledge is split across institutions, communities and sectors, while the people affected by decisions are not involved early enough. This topic funds two research projects that use living labs to test better governance in real settings and build pathways to lasting change.
A proposal chooses one of two areas: Area A covers living labs organised aroun…
Establishing living labs as real-world settings to test policy solutions, stakeholder engagement and new economic models for a nature-positive society and economy. Proposals choose Area A (ecosystem labs) or Area B (societal-challenge labs), then build inclusive, adaptive governance using biodiversity and socio-economic evidence, local knowledge and multi-actor co-creation. The work includes digital decision-support tools, training and knowledge exchange, coordination with other living labs and European projects, and pathways to scale coherent action across policies and communities.
