Abstract
The MoRe4nature project aims to trigger transformative change in conservation
efforts regarding zero pollution, biodiversity protection and deforestation
prevention by including citizens and communities as key actors in collaborative
environmental compliance assurance (ECA).
A key element in reversing the trend in environmental degradation is a change
in environmental compliance assurance interventions. Citizen science initiatives
present innovative ways of joint data and knowledge production and of empowering citizens in sustainable natural resource management. However, barriers to the uptake of Citizen Generated Data (CGD) and citizen actions in environmental compliance assurance have not been effectively tackled.
MoRe4nature will use a socio-technical approach to address these challenges
and deepen the role of citizens and communities in environmental compliance
assurance by i) strengthening the capacity of existing citizen science initiatives
to provide relevant and valid data and understanding the importance of
environmental compliance assurance, ii) fostering and supporting collaboration
and partnerships among citizen science initiatives and authorities to cover data
gaps and shape policy monitoring frameworks, iii) developing and testing tools
to validate data obtained from citizen science initiatives, thus contributing to the integration of such data sources in environmental governance and in European Open Science Cloud, iv) making citizen generated data available as a node in the Green Deal Data Space and v) channelling the urgency for concrete and immediate action of many citizens and communities by creating synergies
between citizen science initiatives and LivingLabs for EU Missions, partnerships and other initiatives such as Fab Labs which share the values of sustainability transitions and which can help co-design actions as part of green and digital transformations.
We will ensure uptake and impact beyond the project duration by engaging 162 existing citizen science initiatives and 98 authorities and national agencies in 40 cases in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa as well as selected LivingLabs and Fab Labs in Europe.
