D5.2 NBS pilot implementation plan

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the co-design processes implemented under the TRANS-Lighthouses project, emphasizing the integration of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to address ecological, social, and cultural challenges in urban, coastal, forestry and rural contexts. The co-design framework fosters collaboration among diverse stakeholders to create sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive solutions within the larger context of the co-creation process deployed in the TRANS-Lighthouses (TRL from now on) project. The report is divided into three main sections, the first one addresses the state of the art on co-design for NBS in participatory process and defines the theoretical flexible framework identified to develop comprehensive Implementation plans for the pilots, subdivided in flexible and adaptable set of “moments” that define the whole process. The second section includes the Implementation plans of the eight TRL pilots, which included their understanding of the different “moments”, a Gantt chart, and a diagram explaining their workflow within the co-design phase of the participatory process. The third section includes a set of reflections on the Implementation Plans, trying to highlight the red threads and the recurrences that can be traced within the Plans. This report underscores the transformative potential of co-design processes in delivering sustainable and inclusive NBS. By fostering collaboration, addressing stakeholder diversity, and emphasizing flexibility, the pilots showcased innovative solutions tailored to local contexts. The findings offer valuable lessons for replicating co-creation frameworks in diverse settings while addressing shared challenges through adaptive and inclusive strategies.
