This $518,545 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund a multi-year project titled "Equitable Nature-Based Climate Solutions" (ENACTS). The project engages stakeholders to drive research and workforce development on the equitable design and implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS) for climate resilience. The research will be conducted across three "living hubs" in New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Kentucky, with a focus on understanding the influence of NBS on social equity and developing design principles to promote equity alongside sustainability, resilience, and practicality. The project aims to create an ecosystem of academia, government, and communities, including underserved and indigenous groups, to support more informed and equitable NBS decisions. The research outcomes are expected to lead to transformative advances in the understanding and capacity for designing and implementing socially equitable NBS, which will increase community resilience against the ongoing climate crisis.
