The 4th Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP) Europe Conference - Ecosystem services empowering people and societies in times of crises- will take place from 10-14 October 2022 in Heraklion, Greece. The ESP Sectoral Working Groups (SWG 5) - Ecosystem Services in Water management organizes the Session "Beyond water: Understanding the role and co-benefits of Nature-based Solutions used for water management". The Session aims to discuss how the ecosystem services or related concepts and their application can be operationalized to assess and estimate the co-benefits of NBS for water management and address the plurality of uncertainties under which the decision-making process operates. We invite innovative contributions on topics broadly relate to:
- Evidence on how NBS for water management provide co-benefits and deliver ecosystem services beyond water management, such as climate mitigation, governance, social justice, air quality, urban regeneration among others.
- Innovative methodologies to measure any of above-mentioned NBS’ contributions or to address uncertainties in existing methodologies.
- Case studies and approaches to address, assess and communicate uncertainties in water resource management through ecosystem services as a system analysis tool.
The submission deadline is 31 July 2022.
