eNaBlS

Description

eNaBlS sets the basis of networking and collaboration to promote transdisciplinary dialogue and further embed Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) concepts and approaches within universities and vocational schools, the professional sphere and society at large.

eNaBlS envisions the creation of Living Labs to epitomise an integrative approach that includes all “voices” and leaves no one behind. Collecting a variety of input and welcoming a plurality of values and knowledge, the goal is to mainstream biodiversity and NBS in higher education and vocational training centres by developing and upscaling new forms of teaching, learning and capacity-building thatare more relational, systems-oriented and applied. Multi-actor collaboration and a Whole Institution Approach - universities become their own Living Labs - are at the core of the eNaBlS approach, which advocates for working together across silos, sectors and epistemologies.

The eNaBlS ultimate objective is to tackle, more generally, the urgent sustainability challenges through the necessary transformative change of communities, business models and lifestyles, and, specifically, put biodiversity and climate on the path to recovery, addressing the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 and the EU climate adaptation strategy.
