“…Neither are they included in market prices, nor are they are deeply rooted in relevant mechanisms such as the EU Common Agricultural Policy with funding regimes and subsidies heavily influencing the business models of farmers-despite the efforts taken for integrating strong greening and environmental requests (e.g. Lupp et al, 2014 andLupp et al, 2015 for the case of biomass production for energy purposes). Thus, private stakeholders are hesitant in engaging or investing financially in NBS, and most business models currently depend on direct or indirect interventions to mitigate the lack of market mechanisms through policy instruments and incentives valuing the benefits generated by NBS (Mayor et al, 2021).…”

Planners and engineers increasingly discovered nature as a source of inspiration to mitigate hydro-meteorological risks resulting from extreme weather events. Actors are realizing advantages of such solutions known as Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to rapidly adapt to changing climate patterns and related impacts such as flooding, landslides, mudflows or rockfalls. NBS also provide multiple co-benefits such as an increased landscape value for society and biodiversity. Because of their inherent characteristics, NBS implementation are more efficient when supported by participative approaches. At the same time, strengthening democratic and collaborative planning into Living Labs approaches generates an increase in interest. This helps to overcome bottlenecks when implementing measures and provide common ground to provide space for new ideas, to promote innovation and to develop solutions with high acceptance. While co-design and implementing NBS has already been applied and well documented for urban areas, there are few publications on collaborative planning, stakeholder perception and NBS co-implementation in rural mountain areas. In our case study analysis from the EU-funded H2020 project PUSICOS, we present stakeholder views on NBS, their possibility to reduce natural hazards in different mountainous case study areas, different discussed measures, NBS types and stages of implementation. We analyze expectations on Living Lab processes to co-design NBS and important topics to be addressed in these processes from the view, perspective and perception of local stakeholders. Despite the importance of NBS on political and research agenda, in both the literature and the interviews, the concept and ideas are less familiar to stakeholders. NBS are mainly encountered within river restoration measures. The main interest was to reduce risks and to find solutions that were attractive and interesting also from an economical point of view e.g. business models for farmers and landowners and less of the multiple benefits that are most important for stakeholders in urban areas. The collaborative planning approach was seen as important for engaging stakeholders and creating knowledge about NBS. These insights will contribute to the understanding and address the management of intense stakeholder involvement processes, identify barriers that arise, and support in-depth participatory processes.

“…Além das normas de qualidade, foram estabelecidas exigências socioambientais. O desenvolvimento desorganizado das bioenergias em âmbito mundial pode provocar uma competição para o uso de terras agrícolas (LUPP et al, 2015;MALTSOGLOU et al, 2015), especialmente aquelas que são tradicionalmente utilizadas pelas comunidades rurais pobres (BAILEY, 2008). Outra consequência pode ser a transformação de ecossistemas de alto valor ecológico ou, ainda, ter um balanço limitado ou, mesmo, negativo na redução dos gases de efeito estufa (GEE) (RÖDER; WHITTAKER; THORNLEY, 2015).…”

A evolução da política energética dos países desenvolvidos, associada à procura por fontes renováveis como a biomassa florestal, impulsionou, desde o início dos anos 2000, o crescimento da produção de pellets de madeira no mundo. O mercado de pellets tornou-se exigente em qualidade e deve lidar com a concorrência de outras fontes de energia, requerendo dos produtores um controle rigoroso de custo bem como um bom domínio técnico da produção. Dessa forma, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os aspectos técnicos da produção de pellets e as possibilidades e as exigências do mercado para que o Brasil possa aproveitar as oportunidades e valorizar o seu potencial florestal.

“…By harmonizing the research methods, updating data and consolidating information regarding the areas under investigation, the two case studies presented here evolved to follow approximately the same design. In order to describe changes to ES in the process of mine land restoration, we use the ES impact method originally developed by Bastian et al (2013) and Lupp et al (2015) for the comparison of different scenarios. Under this method, we select the most variable and important ecosystem services impacted by the given landscape changes and make a qualitative comparison of the differences in ES supply between the two case studies areas (rather than considering different scenarios in one area).…”

Green infrastructure is a concept aimed at realizing a strategically planned network of valuable natural and seminatural areas, designed and managed to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services and to protect biodiversity in rural and urban settings. In the general post-mining context of China and Germany, this paper suggests and outlines an approach that combines green infrastructure with specific concepts of post-mining landscapes. While Germany has a long tradition of post-mining restoration, concepts of green infrastructure are still poorly developed. China, on the other hand, has taken its first steps in the restoration of coal regions, and could profit from the new concepts while drawing on Germany's experience. The potentials of relevant strategies are investigated here through two case studies from Germany and China. Although there are significant differences in the post-mining development strategies of these two countries, it is clear that the green infrastructure concept can contribute significantly to a growth in ecosystem services. Four advantages of the green infrastructure concept are seen: First, it enables a systematic and highly objective assessment of mining impacts on the ecosystem. Second, the concept assists in the implementation of urban sustainability goals. Third, it is rooted in the local characteristics of landscapes. And finally, the green infrastructure concept seems to be highly compatible with tools of landscape and regional planning.
