Funded by the European Union, the Education and Nature-Based Solutions: enable Society to bend the curve for biodiversity (ENABLS) project 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 in seven countries (Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Austria, Lithuania, Greece, Czech Republic), incorporating all “voices” and leaving no one behind. The goal is to enable society to bend the curve for biodiversity by mainstreaming both biodiversity and NbS in higher education and vocational training centres.

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.
