PROJET PLANI-D & GEOMATIQUE

PONDERFUL – POND Ecosystems for Resilient FUture Landscapes in a changing climate

RÉSUMÉ

Ponds and ‘pondscapes’ (networks of ponds) are crucial for biodiversity conservation and their multiple societally beneficial ecosystem services (ES) provide the means to play a crucial role in mitigating and adapting to climate change. The overarching aim of PONDERFUL is to facilitate improved implementation of ponds nature-based solutions (NBS) for climate change (CC) mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity conservation and delivery of ES through generating and integrating biodiversity, ecosystems, social, economic and policy knowledge and providing evidence-based guidance and tools for pond NBS implementation.

The PONDERFUL website is now live : http://ponderful.eu/

MOTS CLÉS

Étangs, biodiversité, écosystèmes, services écosystémiques.

Contexte et objectifs

To achieve this, PONDERFUL will :

1) Evaluate the interactions and feedbacks between biodiversity, ES and climate in pondscapes at multiple spatial scales.

2) Together with stakeholders, develop future scenarios for pondscapes in EU and CELAC in the context of CC, land use change, and changed policies.

3) Develop and test the implementation of effective multifunctional NBS in close collaboration with the stakeholders using DEMOnstration sites in EU and CELAC countries.

4) Develop a sustainable finance and investment guide for NBS, in collaboration with local stakeholders.

5) Assess the potential for large-scale implementation of the proposed NBS in relation to existing barriers, enabling factors, financing and as economic viability, as well as social perceptions of benefits from pond NBS.
