| Description: |
The Connecting Nature Framework is a process tool that has been co-produced and co-applied with science and practice partners in the project with the aim to give a hands-on and comprehensive guide to the Connecting Nature cities to develop their nature-based solution exemplars. It places the nature-based solution at the core of an interactive process that distinguishes three phases of development for a nature-based solution: planning, delivery, and stewardship. Throughout each phase, there are seven separate elements that need to be considered: Technical solutions, Governance, Financing and business models, Nature-based entrepreneurship, Co-production, Reflexive monitoring, and Impact assessment. While the first phase of the Framework development and application has focused on three Front-runner Cities (2017- 2019), we have in the second phase (2019-2022) transferred the Framework, including the generated knowledge and insights about how to apply it to different city contexts, to the seven Fast-follower and Multiplier Cities. ; Suggested citation: Hölscher, K., Allaert, K., Janssen, A., Lodder, M., McCann, S., van der Have, C., Asmaryan, S., Bakola, E., Beslagic, L., Boskidis, I., Collier, M.
