Supporting better-informed restoration decisions
Nature restoration involves complex choices: where to act, which measures to prioritise, who may benefit, who may bear costs, and how impacts may change over time.
NatuRISE will provide evidence, assessments and decision-support approaches to help policymakers and public authorities consider these dimensions together when developing and implementing restoration policies.
