Nature-based solutions (NBSs) are cost-effective techniques and models inspired by nature to build more sustainable and resilient societies. However, NBSs do not support a just transformation of habits for sustainability. And they do not incorporate non-human actors or marginal and vulnerable humans as true beneficiaries of these solutions. The EU-funded COEVOLVERS project will reverse this trend. It will consider NBSs at the interface of technological and biological spheres in order to propose a new view for NBS design. It will also consider full co-creation as an interplay between stakeholders and between human and non-human actors. Seven living labs will be set up across Europe to study the socio-politics of NBS design and implementation. The overall aim is to achieve more inclusive NBSs and resilient communities.
