Transnational Cooperation on nature-based solutions for restoring degraded forests of Central Europe

Forests in central Europe are suffering from climate change, physical disturbances and unsustainable management. To reverse their decline requires joint restoration efforts beyond borders but there are no commonly agreed restoration definitions and guidelines, yet. The RE-ENFORCE project addresses this absence by drafting a transnational restoration strategy, based on experiences made in pilot actions with a newly developed, web-based decision support system. The partners also introduce innovative financing options like carbon markets, which will help securing a participatory, long-term approach to forest restoration.
