Nature-based solutions for coastal regeneration

This challenge focuses on the development and deployment of nature-based solutions for coastal ecosystem restoration and regeneration within the scope of Environmental Protection & Regeneration. By integrating science-based monitoring, data-driven decision-making and adaptive management, it aims to enable the design and implementation of NbS (e.g., habitat restoration, dune systems, seagrass recovery), continuous monitoring of ecosystem health and stressors, early warning systems for environmental degradation, integration of data into MRV frameworks and policy reporting, and scalable and replicable restoration models across Hub Azul pilot sites. Solutions should combine ecological science, digital technologies and operational frameworks, supporting long-term ecosystem recovery and resilience, while improving performance, reducing risk and enabling scalable deployment across Hub Azul pilots.
