They were generally valued for co-producing plans and enroling new partners; they all considered nature in terms of assets and the services it can produce, but monetary #valuation wasn't always key.

We explore how taking a 'natural capital approach' played out in 6 landscape-level initiatives. There were varied interpretations of what taking a #naturalcapital approach means.

Happy to share our new paper "Natural capital approaches to decision-making for collaborative landscape governance" led by @jayneglass.bsky.social also supported by Mark Reed, Leo Peskett & Brady Stevens. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Looking forward to a super set of speakers and talks related to #transformation for #sustainability at this year's @alterneteurope.bsky.social conference

Interesting new paper on how power and equity issues are tied up with #monitoring and evaluation systems - great to see these issues articulated ecologyandsociety.org/vol30/iss2/a...

I'd particularly like to encourage submissions for our session on #Resilience to #climate extremes - open to submissions from all disciplinary perspectives - deadline 28th Feb.

The @alterneteurope.bsky.social 2025 conference is coming soon in May - a great venue for pan-european networking developments on socio-#ecological science and management. The theme this year is Transformative change for #biodiversity alterneteurope.eu/conference20... #transformation

Both papers aim to support and refine our practice at developing Nature-Based Solutions in line with the IUCN global standard, and reflect our partnerships with diverse academic and practitioner colleagues – best wishes to our nature-based friends for 2025!

One, led by EstherCarmen provides a “A transformations framework for mainstreaming a nature-based solutions approach”, in the Nature-Based Solutions journal www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

One, led by Alhassan Ibrahim is on “Raising standards for stakeholder engagement in Nature-based Solutions: Navigating the why, when, who and how” in Environmental Science & Policy journal www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

To round off 2024, I’m very happy to share 2 papers from our work on #Nature-Based Solutions, linked to the @merlin-project.bsky.social and also supported by the Scottish Government’s RESAS strategic research programme...
