Why is methodological pluralism important for evidence-based #NatureBasedSolutions? It can improve: ✅transparency & relevancy ✅contextual richness Here are 10 principles for achieving this in the context of protected areas and counterfactuals. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…
🌍 Spotlight on those shaping #NatureBasedSolutions for Africa's challenges Meet Akhabue Enimhien A @UniofExeter Oppenheimer-Turvill #PhD scholar, she works to enhance representation of African landscapes in global modelling systems--to improve African-centred decision making
Equity is recognised as essential to #NatureBasedSolutions – but is missing in practice. Our TES NbS survey reveals practitioners across southern Africa want clear & practical guidance to strengthen equity in NbS. 🔗doi.org/10.25375/uct.2…
To understand the potential for #NatureBasedSolutions in informal settlements, it's helpful to consider: 🌿 What the situation was 🌿What the situation is now 🌿What the situation could be At theTuwe Pamoja workshop, we did just that by imaginging a future for our cities.
PiNC Lab’s Glynis Humphrey joins FIREPOL as a regional expert. The project aims to reimagine fire not just as a hazard, but as a social and political phenomenon, deeply interwoven with governance, norms and contested land practices. 🔥Learn more: pinclab.co.za/news/pinc-labs…
What are pathways where #NatureBasedSolutions support adaptation to #climatechange - rather than hinder it? PiNC researchers and colleagues working on @Albatross_eu aimed to answer this for 5 countries in #Africa. 🔗 Learn about their findings here: pinclab.co.za/news/pathways-…
🌟 Spotlight on the brilliant minds shaping #NatureBasedSolutions for Africa's challenges. Meet Dr Assumpta Onyeagoziri, a postdoctoral fellow modeling ecosystem responses to #climatechange across Southern Africa's water towers.
🔥 Cape Town faces rising fire risks. Science shows the drivers are social, spatial and ecological. But tackling them needs integrated solutions. 📖 bit.ly/4ezT1cd
What are #NatureBasedSolutions and how do they benefit us? This brief from @TuwePamoja defines types of #NbS and their benefits & gives guidelines on how to implement them in ways that are equitable, multi-functional and beneficial to communities. 📖pinclab.co.za/updates-tuwe/w…
🌍 Spotlight on the Umzimvubu Catchment Hub – South Africa 🇿🇦 🎞️ @PetraHoldenUCT and Glynis Humphrey (@canisafricanus), from @ACDI_UCT @PiNClab (@UCT_news), provide more details about the Umzimvubu Hub. 🔎 🔗 Visit our website to learn more: albatross-project.eu/hubs/umzimvubu… @HorizonEU
#Climatechange is the defining issue of our times. This @UNDPClimate Dictionary gives definitions of key concepts in the climate conversation - including the role of #NatureBasedSolutions - that support a shared knowledge base. climatepromise.undp.org/news-and-stori…
Community led social innovation in #NatureBasedSolutions can empower & not exclude. When #NbS prioritise local voices, they spark equity, not harm — a lesson global projects must embrace. Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/4dL02op
How can we tackle #ClimateChange, biodiversity loss & build sustainable livelihoods? #NatureBasedSolutions (NbS) offer a way —restoring ecosystems, strengthening #ClimateResilience & shaping sustainable policies. Learn more: 📽️youtube.com/watch?v=TGuyMa… @NetworkNatureEU
🌟 Spotlight on the people behind the science Meet Dr Chipo Perseverance Mungenge, Postdoctoral Fellow, assessing how freshwater ecosystem interventions support #ClimateResilience in South Africa. #PiNCTeamSpotlight
At PiNC Lab, we drive research, capacity building & knowledge translation to support sustainable, climate-resilient solutions. Our vision guides our work for a more just & sustainable future.
🌍Update from @Alabatros_EU Our @canisafricanus & Cherié Forbes facilitated an April workshop on ways to enhance #climate services for #adaptation efforts at the Umzimvubu Hub in #SouthAfrica - one of 7 focal areas of the project. Learn more: bit.ly/4lDZWUR
Congratulations to our Phumudzo Ragimana on earning her Master's with distinction! 🎓 Her work on river ecosystem changes in Limpopo shows why African researchers studying their home communities can fill critical knowledge gaps. Read more: bit.ly/4jAcrPu
Working with nature builds resilience. This graphic reveals 2 key pathways in which #NatureBasedSolutions support #ClimateAdaptation: 1️⃣ Ecosystem service outcomes 2️⃣ Socioeconomic outcomes By @PetraHoldenUCT at @PiNClab with @ACDI_UCT & @EPRU_EfD 👉bit.ly/4cNyr79
PiNC Lab welcomes Dr Cherié Forbes A palaeoecologist & system dynamicist, she brings expertise to the ALBATROSS project for working on climate-responsive #NatureBasedSolutions across Sub-Saharan #Africa. 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/4jlIAu6
