MOVING Policy Brief - Nature and Ecosystem Services

MOVING was an EU Horizon 2020 project that aimed to build capacities and co-develop relevant policy frameworks across Europe to support the establishment of new or upgraded/upscaled value chains that contribute to the resilience and sustainability of mountain areas. The project engaged value chain actors, stakeholders, and policymakers in a total of 23 European mountain regions in 15 countries. This Policy Brief focuses on potential policy actions that respond specifically to the challenges for mountain value chains associated with nature and ecosystem services, including sustainable utilization of local assets, ecological resilience, attractiveness and wellbeing. Evidence for this Policy Brief is drawn from analyses of mountain value chains in Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, France, Serbia and Switzerland.

Forests for water in Catalonia

Document

This innovation case is strengthening the link between forests and water with the overall aim of diversifying financing sources for forest management by integrating ecosystem service provision into the economic balance sheet. Work includes integration in the Urban Masterplan for the Rialb Reservoir where different local stakeholders (economic, tourism, water and others) are already working together. The aim is for written recognition in a legal document of the role of forestry in water and landscape conservation, and the recognition of forestry as a potentially relevant economic activity in the area that can be promoted along with tourism. The innovation action also works with the public Segre-Rialb Consortium to assess the suitability of a payment for ecosystem services scheme in relation to water in the area.
