Sandy beaches, from the surf zone to the dunes, connect land and sea. They support unique biodiversity and provide benefits people rely on, including recreation and tourism, coastal protection, and fisheries. Yet management often prioritises appearance and short-term convenience, which can degrade habitats and accelerate biodiversity loss.
The global decline of marine biodiversity due to human-related pressures, especially pollution, climate change, and overfishing, is our time’s critical emergency.

This project pursues the development and testing of a novel production system that transforms predominantly monocultured rice (Oryza sativa) paddies into multifunctional sustainable ecosystems. With

The climate-biodiversity-pollution nexus represents a critical convergence of environmental challenges. Addressing it is essential to halt or reverse biodiversity loss, yet major obstacles persist. Effective
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a proven Nature-based Solution that can simultaneously support biodiversity recovery, ecosystem functioning, and human well-being through sustainable fisheries. However, MPAs
Solar energy is a key pillar of Europe’s climate mitigation strategy, but its rapid expansion is transforming rural landscapes where biodiversity, agriculture, and cultural heritage
Climate change is pushing ecosystems beyond known boundaries. Traditional conservation methods are no longer effective. Instead of resisting change, we should guide ecosystems towards desired
There is a worldwide decline in wild species and ecosystems. However, we can reverse biodiversity loss by addressing consumption patterns and values, as well as

Nature-based solutions (NBSs) are cost-effective techniques and models inspired by nature to build more sustainable and resilient societies. However, NBSs do not support a just
