The NatuRISE Socio-Economic Evidence Base will bring together evidence on the benefits, costs and wider socio-economic effects of nature restoration. It will cover both monetary and non-monetary effects, including ecosystem services, health and wellbeing, recreation, financial impacts and distributional effects.
Evidence on restoration impacts is often fragmented across disciplines, locations and types of impact. The evidence base will help users access a more comprehensive picture of what restoration can change, who may benefit or bear costs, and where these effects may occur.
The evidence base will combine scientific literature, new data collection, spatial analysis, surveys and model-based assessments. It will provide evidence for NatuRISE indicators, models, impact assessments and decision-support tools.
For technical users: Detailed evidence sources, methods and scientific publications will be linked as they become available.
The evidence base will support work across the four NatuRISE case studies and EU-wide analyses covering agriculture, forestry and freshwater ecosystems.
This result is planned as part of the NatuRISE project. The page will be updated as the work progresses.
