EKLIPSE

EKLIPSE is an EU funded project that will set up a sustainable and innovating way of knowing, networking and learning about biodiversity and ecosystem services. The European Commission requested the EKLIPSE project to help building up an evidence and knowledge base on the benefits and challenges of applying NBSs. In response to the request, the EKLIPSE is an EU funded project that will set up a sustainable and innovating way of knowing, networking and learning about biodiversity and ecosystem services. The European Commission requested the EKLIPSE project to help building up an evidence and knowledge base on the benefits and challenges of applying NBSs. In response to the request, the EKLIPSE Expert Working Group on Nature‐based Solutions to Promote Climate Resilience in Urban Areas (EWG) devised the following objectives: 1) To develop an impact evaluation framework with a list of criteria for assessing the performance of NBSs in dealing with challenges related to climate resilience in urban areas; 2) To prepare an application guide for measuring how NBSs projects fare against the identified indicators in delivering multiple environmental, economic and societal benefits; 3) To make recommendations to improve the assessment of the effectiveness of NBSsprojects, including the identification of knowledge gaps according to the criteria presented in the impact evaluation framework.
